Comment(by boothby):
This is a limitation of protocols / browsers. Since HTTPS is merely HTTP
over an SSL connection, a plaintext HTTP request looks like garbage to a
HTTPS server and vice verse. If your browser was smart enough to attempt
to use SSL, that'd be fine. However, we can't do this in Twisted because
we only take one port -- an inbound connection is silently dropped by SSL,
and Twisted never hears about it. If we go to a two-port system, e.g.
port 80 for http and 443 for https, then we'd be in business. And perhaps
that functionality should be implemented.
However, the issue of "user connects to port x with wrong protocol" is
never going to go away.
