The HTML source code has a canonical link that points to http://pr-newsroom-wp.appspot.com/2022-07-12/spotify-to-acqu... and which does HTTP/301 to HTTPS version. Weird indeed, and it might need fixing.

Interestingly enough, I can't send the appspot link in FB messenger, it thinks its spam and blocks the message.
Isn't that an app engine URL? I know Spotify is on GCP.
huh, I didn't even know it was possible to run WordPress on AppSpot.. I wonder how they deal with image uploads in WordPress
WordPress has hooks to allow pointing the uploads location to a different directory, which you can combine with PHP stream wrappers to have a virtual filesystem.
(Source: I wrote the original WP/App Engine integration back when Google first launched support for PHP; I also maintain a plugin that does the same for S3, for our AWS hosting platform.)
