💡 Idea

I'm implementing support for reverse proxy using caddy, and I think it would help to simplify the config to split the https and http, like so:

ntfy.sh {
    reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:2586
}

http://ntfy.sh {
    # Redirect HTTP to HTTPS, but only for GET topic addresses, since we want
    # it to work with curl without the annoying https:// prefix
    @httpget {
        method GET
        path_regexp ^/([-_a-z0-9]{0,64}$|docs/|static/)
    }

    redir @httpget https://{host}{uri}
    reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:2586
}

I'm also not sure how necessary the regex is, but I will defer to your judgment there. I am trying an experiment without it since curl with http would use POST (e.g. curl -d "hello" http://ntfy.lan/mytopic) so redirect everything else (e.g. GET). Initial testing without the regex looks good so far...
