    I've tried many options including installing local web servers with a redirect from http to https and disabling SSL certificate validation.

    So far the only working option is the following:

    find the Power BI Desktop config Microsoft.Mashup.Container.NetFX45.exe.config and add a configuration there:

    <configuration>
  <system.net>
    <settings>
      <servicePointManager
        checkCertificateName="false"
        checkCertificateRevocationList="false"         
      />
    </settings>
  </system.net>
</configuration>
