Feature request: https support for monero nodes

[tpkowastaken]

Use case

I self-host a monero node on my own hardware. Since I have a pretty limited network I use cloudflare tunnels to route the traffic to my node from outside of my private network. Cloudflare tunnels hovewer only support https. This is not a problem when using monero gui

Monero gui expected behavior

The wallet is synchronized using a node connected with https and port 443.

Unstoppable swap faulty behavior

Textfield add a new node shows an error invalid input when using https and the '+' button is disabled.

I am aware of this issue and it is relatively easy to fix. We only added support for HTTP at the beginning but now see that HTTPS is important as well. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

+1 for this fix. Also, there could be other inputs that need addressing. Exactly what input is expected for monero / electrum? I have not been able to connect to an onion with port 18089 for example, nor an electrum server on an http:xxxxxxx.onion:50001 (tcp).

HTTPS should be working now.

Onion Addresses are currently not supported.

You also always needs to specify the port.

Please open another issue for requesting support for onion addresses.
