"Sed style substitutions uses regular expressions and thus slows down
squidGuard more than B-tree lookups." [sic]

On the system I know doing this, it's to forcibly redirect from
http://example.foo.com/ to https://example.foo.com/ - that's why
bookmarks are useful.

Note, by the way, I was wrong wrt the 301/302 codes - both prefixes are
user-visible redirects.
