“file uri scheme”

Hello! In our website, we allow members to follow private RSS feeds on their Podcasts app easily with the click of a button. Underneath the button is a link in the format of: podcast://example.rssurl.com # Example With this URL scheme, the Podcasts app launches correctly and shows the Follow a Show by URL input box, with the private RSS feed URL prefilled. However, the prefilled URL uses HTTP instead of HTTPS. So, the example link above (podcast://example.rssurl.com) when clicked is converted to: http://example.rssurl.com in the Follow a Show by URL input box in the Podcasts app. We noticed the HTTP form of the URL does not work well, as it sometimes fail to follow the show. Clicking on Follow would simply close the box and cause nothing to happen, not even error messages. We then tested with HTTPS by manually inserting the URL like so: https://example.rssurl.com and this would always work. However, this is not ideal as our users would have to manually paste in the URL all the time. It'd be great if
