🐞 Describe the bug

Connecting from the iOS app to a server behind Cloudflare Zero trust doesnt work.
Connecting to a topic says:

Unexpected response from server. Is this a ntfy server?

💻 Components impacted

iOS app

💡 Screenshots and/or logs

🔮 Additional context

I am assuming the error is mostly that when behind Zero Trust the web page that is returned is the Cloudflare login page for users. After a successful login there it does show the actual ntfy UI or API. So it needs a way to do that, save that CF token and use that for other requests.

In Home Assistant this is possible so i am assuming this should also be possible for ntfy.

Maybe someone has a workaround for this?

the ntfy app doesn't work with cloudflare on Android either, the only option that sort of works is using chrome but then not all notifications make it when using PWA and enable notify option
