My website, such as it is, is "powered by" awk and shell scripts, I
basically restricted myself to the tools busybox provides. The webserver
is 'althttpd' (https://sqlite.org/althttpd/doc/trunk/althttpd.md) which
up until very recently did not support https directly, but you could add
that capability with something like stunnel. Althttpd also doesn't have
a switch that you can flip to turn on directory indexing. That said, I
specifically chose althttpd because it's simple and for the features it
does provide which I built the mechanics of the page generation around.

Anyway, althttpd added native https support at the beginning of this
year. I've tested it locally but haven't updated the Alpine package yet
or enabled it on sodface.com. I personally find it a little irritating
that everything was being pushed to https and that the browsers are
shunning http sites to the point that you experienced what you did. But
I don't want to get into a religious war here on the forum about http vs
https. I don't feel that strongly about it except generally I don't like
to be coerced into things "for my own good". 

I'm tinkering around with the directory indexing, should be up pretty
quick I hope.

What hardware are you using for a player? If you are using a raspberry
pi and are looking for a more out of the box solution, you might
consider [url=https://www.picoreplayer.org/]picoreplayer though I personally 
love Alpine and it's a great solution if you are
using different hardware (or even if you are using a pi). Let me know if
you need any help or if you have any issues with the repo.
