Thank you for looking into unintended https/http switch.  As we (at our
lab) travel quite frequently and hook up to different wireless networks,
we try to access our service via https/ssl/tls/...

I did not receive any more feedback on the "if" statement.  The way we
proceed is quite simple, actually.  If with an action a redirect of
http://...:443/... occurs, we just correct the url in the browser to
https://...:443/...  Everything goes fine after that, including the
confirmation that the action is processed.

For convenience, I can hard code $uri->scheme('https'), which is fine
for our workflow.

Thanks,
