[Taler] Wallet and sandcastle-ng: Wallet uses https

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi,

continuing my journey, I try to pay using the Firefox wallet:

• Wallet installed, withdrawed KUDOs from the sandhost bank running on localhost
  
• Created an order, queried the payment url, which looks okay:
• taler://pay/backend.taler.localhost:4321/instances/sandbox/2024.346-
  00R99M402X56G/
  
• In the Wallet, activated developer tools and activated "Allow HTTP connections"
• Restart Firefox (since "Allow HTTP connections" has notice that wallet restart ins required.
• In the Wallet, go to the QR-Code page, paste the payment url
• Got error shown below.

It took me some time to recognize the wallet wants to talk to the merchant backend using https, while the sandcastle only has http.

Error message:

Could not load the payment and balance status
Wallet operation "preparePayForUri" failed

{
  "context": [],
  "cause": {
    "details": {
      "when": {
        "t_ms": 1733948358909
      },
      "hint": "HTTP request failed.",
      "requestUrl": "https://backend.taler.localhost:4321/instances/sandbox/orders/2024.346-00R99M402X56G/claim",
      "requestMethod": "POST",
      "timeoutMs": 60000
    }
  }
}

    Any idea? (Maybe even using taler-wallet-cli? ;-)
