2. Open Window>Package Manager
3. Select Timeline package
4. Press the "View documentation" button

Expected result: The documentation website is opened
Actual result: "InvalidOperationException: Insecure connection not allowed" error is thrown

Workaround: Edit -> Project Settings -> Player -> Other Settings -> Configuration -> Allow downloads over HTTP

This is the solution I found (Android, idk if this works for other platforms, I assume it does):
Project settings -->Player --> Other settings --> Allow downloads ober HTTP: change this value to Always allowed (yellow exclamation warning icon appears, but it works)

I went ahead and replaced the 'http' in 'GAnalytics.cs' with 'https'. Seems fine. All the links seem to be accessible using this. I have not clicked each and every link yet but have checked out the stuff I needed to (manual, support, etc).

NB Workaround of allowing insecure downloads is not advised as it opens up a potential security hole.

NOT resolved.
Still Happening in Unity 2022.2.9 (SteamVR related). Exiting Unity and deleting every SteamVR reference from the project folders (using windows file explorer) then restarting Unity appears to solve it.
