When a public reverse-proxy hostname has several A/AAAA records and an earlier address black-holes TCP, this loop gives each address up to 10 seconds serially. With the enclosing 30-second HTTP timeout, three stale records can exhaust the budget before a later working record is attempted, causing all advertised connections to fail despite a reachable endpoint. Race acceptable resolved addresses, or preserve net.Dialer's dual-stack fallback behavior, rather than dialing literals one by one.

Addressed in a92637f. publicPlexDialContext now splits the remaining dial budget across the resolved addresses (partialDeadline-style, 2s floor) instead of granting each the full timeout, so stale records can no longer exhaust the 30s HTTP budget serially. TestPlexPartialDeadlineSplitsBudget and TestPlexDialBudgetTakesTheEarliestBound cover the partitioning.

Adding plex_base_urls introduces client-visible v1 behavior without a capability endpoint. Because the request decoder silently ignores unknown fields, a third-party client cannot distinguish a server that will race the advertised list from an older server that accepts the request but tries only plex_base_url; on the reverse-proxy failure topology this change targets, the import therefore fails with no way for the client to detect that fallback is unsupported. Expose the required capability so clients can feature-detect this behavior.

Addressed in a92637f. GET /api/v1/history-imports/capability now reports plex_connection_fallback and max_plex_connection_candidates, following the existing per-subsystem convention (/events/capability, /playback/capability, /downloads/capability), with a handler test.
Address the remaining review threads on #736: - GET /api/v1/history-imports/capability reports plex_connection_fallback and the candidate cap, per the v1 feature-detection rule. - publicPlexDialContext splits the remaining dial budget across resolved addresses (stdlib partialDeadline style, 2s floor) so black-holed A/AAAA records cannot exhaust the HTTP timeout serially. - The public-only client's redirect check drops X-Plex-Token when a redirect leaves the host, mirroring net/http's Authorization handling. - Normalization of Plex base URL candidates now happens exactly once in resolvePlexAuth; the redundant LocalURL/remoteURL re-appends are gone on both the server and web sides.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a candidate redirects from host A to host B and B then issues a same-host redirect, net/http copies the initial request headers onto each new redirect request, so X-Plex-Token is restored before this callback runs. Because this compares B only with the immediately previous host B, the second request sends the Plex credential to B. Compare every destination with the original host in via[0], rather than the previous hop, so the token remains absent for the rest of any cross-host chain.

On a deployment that still routes the deprecated IPv6 site-local range, an authenticated profile can supply an HTTPS destination under fec0::/10 and reach an internal service. Go deliberately reports these addresses as global unicast, and this deny list stops at ULA and link-local ranges, so publicPlexAddress accepts them and the public-only transport dials them with the Plex token; add fec0::/10 to the denied networks.

When Plex advertises more than eight connections, invalid profile-OAuth candidates can consume the entire cap before the transport rejects them. For example, if the promoted remote URL is down and Plex's advertised order then contains seven local or cleartext entries before another working remote connection, this function drops that working connection without probing it, so the fallback import still fails; apply the bound after excluding or deprioritizing candidates that the public HTTPS transport cannot use.

Problem
Fixes #407.
Profile-level Plex history imports kept only one remote and one local address from the connection list returned by plex.tv. The web client preferred the remote address and sent only that URL to the backend. If it refused the connection, the import stopped without trying the remaining advertised addresses.
Approach
plex_base_urlsrequest field while retainingplex_base_urlfor existing clients.HTTP, private LAN, and container addresses remain available only to administrator-configured saved sources. A profile can run an import from one of those sources, but cannot supply or replace its URL. Browser and server-managed profile OAuth flows use the public HTTPS-only transport because their Plex URLs come from user-controlled discovery data.

The security tests prove that a profile OAuth provider sends no request to loopback or cleartext HTTP destinations, while a predefined provider keeps the administrator-configured transport. Address tests cover private, loopback, link-local, carrier-grade NAT, IPv4-mapped IPv6, local-use NAT64, and other special-use IPv6 ranges.
