This is true, but browsers now may make htttp:// an almost deprecated
protocol and invoke warnings and burdens to fetch.

An https:// endpoint to the ip with an address naming certificate is a low
bar goal server side, to prevent current or future fetches should this
de-preferencing continue.

I would acknowledge curl and wget and code embedded fetch libraries don't
do this.
