Description

After a json_warning in api.Requests, the protocol assignment switches the scheme in _http_request due to T326046. In some cases this results in HTTP 403 responses (again with json_warning), because the selected scheme is incorrect. The bot then keeps using the wrong scheme until a Timeout exception occurs.

The html message contains this:
