even if they have never been published I think a HTTP-Page that has the

Which appears to answer an entirely different question to the one I asked.
I asked why either should be expected to work. You have taken that as a
reason to push for https as default, which is an entirely different issue.
If not published somehow URLs are still often shown without protocol to
a user (well - most often in those case they are prefixed with www.),
and users are used to not type in the protocol prefix by hand.
The protocol being used is not the point. The point is that neither site
had been configured, because neither is a URL that we have ever told
anybody to use!
You might as well ask why fraggle.osm.org doesn't redirect to
osmfoundation.org.
We have dozens of domain names, and as things stand we haven't written
anything to handle automatically managing all of those for all of the
dozens of sites we have so you should, unless told otherwise, assume
that only the published name (normally *.openstreetmap.org or
*.osmfoundation.org) will be supported.
If you want to write chef recipes to handle automatically setting up all
the different domains then please be my guest.
