Bug Description
I ran webbrowser-app on the desktop, and did the following:
1) From the startpage, I typed "http://
2) Twitter loads, and the URL bar updates to "https:/
3) I retype "http://
4) The page reloads, but the URL bar doesn't seem to update correctly this time (it displays "http://
I'm not sure yet if this is an Oxide bug or webbrowser-app bug - I didn't see any non-SSL traffic to Twitter in Wireshark when doing the second navigation

Looks like the issue is in webbrowser-app indeed. I’ve instrumented the WebView to monitor changes to the 'url' property, and it’s correctly updated to https, whereas the address bar isn’t updated.
