No working workaround for : Native Automation requires https protocol

[wombatka]

What is your Scenario?

I cannot run my tests over http using native automation and chrome 130,
I tried using workaround from: #8133
The url seems to be loaded via http but it is not which can be seen in the browser console

What is the Current behavior?

automatic redirect to https occurs and page is not loaded

What is the Expected behavior?

page should be loaded via http

What is the public URL of the test page? (attach your complete example)

example.js:

import {Selector, t} from "testcafe";

fixture('MWE')
test('Website served only by HTTP is tried to be opened with HTTPS', async () => {
await t.navigateTo('http://www.testingmcafeesites.com/')
await t.debug()
})

What is your TestCafe test code?

example.js:

import {Selector, t} from "testcafe";

fixture('MWE')
test('Website served only by HTTP is tried to be opened with HTTPS', async () => {
await t.navigateTo('http://www.testingmcafeesites.com/')
await t.debug()
})
