Hey zackkatz, I'm Arpit, the CTO of Appsmith. Thank you so much for surfacing this Github issue. I know it's quite an old one and we still haven't provided a fix. I'll bump this up internally on our priority list.
Btw, since you are trying to connect to your web host, can I ask if you are self-hosting Appsmith or you are using Appsmith Cloud (https://app.appsmith.com) ?
