Firstly, this causes #721, possibly due to a bug in "Barcode Scanner" whereby it seems to ignore the scheme when in caps, assuming it is "http". The relevant RFC is: > RFC3986 (Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax In section 3.1, it describes the scheme: > Although schemes are case-insensitive, the canonical form is > lowercase and documents that specify schemes must do so with > lowercase letters. An implementation should accept uppercase > letters as equivalent to lowercase in scheme names (e.g., allow > "HTTP" as well as "http") for the sake of robustness but should > only produce lowercase scheme names for consistency. Secondly, it is not valid to uppercase URLs at will. Although it seems that there is some sort of more-compact-QR-generating-logic that doesn't justify this. Funnily enough, I can't find anything in RFC3986 about the case-insensitivity of URI paths. However consider the following: * https://i.imgur.com/fn33EcW.jpg That is a valid path to an image. If we upper case it: * HTTPS://I.IMGUR.COM/FN33ECW.JPG or lower case it: * https://i.imgur.com/fn33ecw.jpg Then the server is entitled to treat it differently and indeed it does. Both the upper case and lower case are no both 404's.

FAQ
- Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.
- Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip, or alternatively F-Droid can install it as a system app using root.
