manfred: URL must use HTTPS: ${url}

Error message

manfred: URL must use HTTPS: ${url}

What it means

Second guard in assertManfredUrl: after a successful parse, parsed.protocol must be 'https:'. Any other scheme is rejected to enforce TLS on the Manfred API call.

Solutions

1. Ensure the URL starts with https:// (Manfred's API is HTTPS-only).
2. Verify with curl https://www.getmanfred.com/api/v2/public/offers.
3. Fix any URL builder that omits or downgrades the scheme.

Example fix

// before
feedUrl = 'http://www.getmanfred.com/api/v2/public/offers'

// after
feedUrl = 'https://www.getmanfred.com/api/v2/public/offers'

import { URL } from 'node:url';
export function isHttpsUrl(value) {
  try { return new URL(value).protocol === 'https:'; } catch { return false; }
}

/** @param {string} url */
function isHttps(url) {
  try { return new URL(url).protocol === 'https:'; } catch { return false; }
}

try {
  assertManfredUrl(url);
} catch (err) {
  if (err.message.includes('HTTPS')) console.warn(`refusing non-HTTPS manfred URL: ${url}`);
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: The URL parses but uses http://, ftp://, file://, or another non-https scheme. Most often a plain-http URL was constructed or configured.

Common situations: A legacy/test URL over HTTP; a feed base copied without the scheme; a derived offer URL lost its scheme during string building.
