@prologic Sure, that can happen. 😅 (If browsers defaulted to using HTTPS, such a redirect would not be required – anymore. Maybe the time has come for browsers to do that?)

@movq HTTPS-only mode in Firefox and derivatives will automatically try HTTPS, then give you the option to connect with HTTP if the server doesn't support TLS. I'm not sure about Chromium.

I generally like that system, but it can get annoying at times. I wish there was a way I could disable the dialog (while still trying https first for unknown domains) on a per-tab basis, letting it fall back to plain HTTP without user input.

On a somewhat related note, I recently discovered a cURL option to specify a default protocol when invoked without a scheme, e.g. curl mckinley.cc.

In ~/.config/curlrc:


proto-default = https
@mckinley Oh, look at that, I didn’t know that option existed in Firefox. 😳 Gonna give that a shot, thanks.
