### 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 . > [[fixed|done]] to the extent this was a bug at all. --[[Joey]]
