HTTP: can use without config file but not with

[ablakers]

I'm new to rclone, I tried to set up a simple http remote:

[alvro]
type = http
url = "http://beet.the-eye.eu/alvro/"

but I tried testing it with

rclone lsd alvro

and I got

ERROR : : error listing: directory not found
Failed to lsd: directory not found

However,

rclone lsd --http-url http://beet.the-eye.eu/alvro/ :http:

did work successfully and I'm not sure why one worked but not the other?

I tried editing the remote to remove the quotes around the URL- rclone config's example suggests you put quotes around the URL but the example on rclone's page for HTTP suggests otherwise so I'm not sure which is more correct? - but there was no difference.

Are you missing a ":" on the end?

rclone lsd alvro:

[ablakers]

facepalm

Thanks!
