self_update.api_url must use HTTPS, got {:?}

Error message

self_update.api_url must use HTTPS, got {:?}

What it means

Settings validation in SelfUpdate validate(): the configured self_update.api_url does not use HTTPS, so the self-updater refuses to contact it (plain HTTP would allow tampered downloads). Fires when api_url is set to an http:// endpoint.
