podman-desktop: Cannot add insecure registry

Issue Description

After installing podman-desktop on Windows 10, it asked me to install podman. That’s what I did, so far so good,

Then I tried to add a local registry that comes without a certificate. I tried that in the GUI in Settings -> Registries -> Add registry, which resulted in the error message Unable to find auth info for https://server.net.local/v2/. Error: RequestError: certificate has expired.

Then I tried to add the registry within the WSL container podman-machine-default in ~/config/containers/registries.conf, /etc/containers/registries.conf and /etc/containers/registries.conf.d/001-myreg.conf like this:

[[registry]]
location = "server.net.local"
insecure = true

But with no luck.

I also added the server in the /etc/hosts file. Also, no change there. The error is still shown. Even after restarting podman-desktop.

The server works fine in docker-desktop (which is currently not running) with the URL being stated in the insecure-registries entry in the settings, so I guess the server would be alright.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
