When exposing Gitea on a port other than 443 and specify it as "Import from Git" in the OpenSift Web Console, validation will fail with the following error.

The Gitea repository is unreachable. The repository might be private or does not exist    

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.20    

Always    

    1. Install Gitea without using HTTPS
    2. Specify Gitea url for "Import from Git"
    3.
    

"Import from Git" fails validation if I specify anything other than HTTPS and port 443

"Import from Git" works fine
