There’s two common reasons for this:

A. A cached HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect

B. HSTS

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security>

I think you’ve ruled out A, so the most likely cause is B.  And there’s two 
parts to that:

B.1. Some sites are on the HSTS preload list.

<https://hstspreload.org>

B.2. For those not on the list, if the client ever sees the HSTS header it can 
cache that knowledge outside of the standard `NSURLCache`.

I suspect B.2. is what’s going on here.  That is, the HSTS entry has rewritten 
your HTTP URL to HTTPS before it hits the wire, and thus it’s never blocked by 
ATS.

Share and Enjoy
