### Please describe the problem.
Initializing a httpalso remote fails by requesting an encryption mode (but then rejecting it).
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
[[!format sh """
git init test1
cd test1
dd if=/dev/urandom count=1000 of=testfile
git annex init
git annex add testfile
git commit -m "initial checkin"
cd ..
git clone test1 test2
cd test2
git annex init
git annex initremote --sameas=origin origin-http type=httpalso url=http://example.com/foo
"""]]
That is the minimal example as I understand the [httpalso documentation](special_remotes/httpalso/).
This gives an error message:
```
initremote origin-http
git-annex: Specify encryption=hybrid or encryption=none or encryption=pubkey or encryption=shared or encryption=sharedpubkey.
failed
git-annex: initremote: 1 failed
```
Adding `encryption=none` (or any other) gives `Unexpected parameters: encryption`.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git annex 8.20200908 on current Debian sid (as packaged)
### Have you had any luck using git-annex before?
My first git-annex repository dates back 2010-12-21 ... so: yes.
The introduction of httpalso simplifies the setup in the [annex-to-web](https://gitlab.com/chrysn/annex-to-web) server, which on one hand consumes them in order to pass out redirects, and on the other hand .
