  @hiker If you explicitly type http:// and you complain about it being replaced by https://, that's likely cause https isn't available so there is little chance any web server without HTTPS redirects clients to HTTPS

  But that's easy to verify. curl -iL http://example.com
  If it has a Location header with an HTTPS URL, then redirection comes from the webserver. If not, it's either the browser HTTPS only mode OR some stupid JavaScript rewriting the URL without using headers.

  @mattly
  Software trying to be smart, but thus failing in the simplest scenarios.
  My (mobile) browser redirects http to https, despite I explicitly type a `http` url.

  @bertkoor That must not be the fault of the browser. Lot webpages divert a call to http directly to https. @mattly
