hi,

rclone lsd ':http,url="https://beta.rclone.org":'
          -1 1969-12-31 19:00:00        -1 branch
          -1 1969-12-31 19:00:00        -1 test

@asdffdsa Which version of rclone are you using?

that example at https://rclone.org/http/, that is for windows, not linux

this also works
rclone lsd ":http,url='https://beta.rclone.org':"

and is documented at https://rclone.org/docs/#connection-strings

Oh is it, I don't recall seeing that mentioned anywhere.

Also the second example you gave works for me.
