### Please describe the problem. Trying to copy annexed files to an lfs server via the configured http schemed url results in an error of this form: [[!format sh """ $ git-annex copy -t lfsonly copy mod_access_compat.so (HttpExceptionRequest Request { host = "computer-ubul.local" port = 5965 secure = True requestHeaders = [("Accept","application/vnd.git-lfs+json"),("Content-Type","application/vnd.git-lfs+json"),("User-Agent","git-annex/10.20241031-1~ndall+1")] path = ".git/info/lfs/objects/batch" queryString = "" method = "POST" proxy = Nothing rawBody = False redirectCount = 10 responseTimeout = ResponseTimeoutDefault requestVersion = HTTP/1.1 proxySecureMode = ProxySecureWithConnect } (InternalException (HandshakeFailed (Error_Packet_Parsing "Failed reading: invalid header type: 72\nFrom:\theader\n\n")))) failed copy mod_autoindex.so (HttpExceptionRequest Request { host = "computer-ubul.local" port = 5965 secure = True requestHeaders = [("Accept","application/vnd.git-lfs+json"),("Content-Type","application/vnd.git-lfs+json"),("User-Agent","git-annex/10.20241031-1~ndall+1")] path = ".git/info/lfs/objects/batch" queryString = "" method = "POST" proxy = Nothing rawBody = False redirectCount = 10 responseTimeout = ResponseTimeoutDefault requestVersion = HTTP/1.1 proxySecureMode = ProxySecureWithConnect } (InternalException (HandshakeFailed (Error_Packet_Parsing "Failed reading: invalid header type: 72\nFrom:\theader\n\n")))) failed copy: 2 failed """]] From what I can see, there is no way to work around this. Unlike, for example, the S3 special remotes, initremote doesn't take a protocol=http setting. ### What steps will reproduce the problem?
