Is http access blocked on low level now? iOS 14.2 and Big Sur

Hi,
I am trying to talk to our cameras (local Wifi, no Internet access, no contact to any authority) and so far we used our own APIs but also regular http calls to do so.

It seems with the latest iOS update that is not possible any more (even on a low level)? None of the browsers (firefox and chrome) works any more and also the parts of the app which used http requests.

For us this would mean to upgrade everything to https (including all the certificate management) - which is tricky as we don't necessarily have connection to an authority at the time (it is a camera and used in places with no Internet) and certificates need to be managed by the user locally through exceptions). Unfortunately our products have quite a lifetime - so we'd need to change software for products which are 5-8 years old...

@eskimo Can you confirm?

Cheers,
Michael


Never mind... problem resolved. This was a combination of a couple unlikely events in combination... (Is there a way to delete this question? :-) )

No, but we won’t hold it against you (-:
