Hi,
on some (few) web pages I can not reach the linked contents because my
unofficial en-US SeaMonkey 2.49a1 (NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 Build 20160930004545 (Default Classic
Theme) on German WIN7 64bit with my normal User Profile automatically
replaces "http" in URL by "https".
Example:
1. In Browser visit <http://www.draytek.de/>
2. In page contents heading line
ˋclick downloads - Firmwareˊ
Expected: <http://myvigoreu.draytek.com/download_de/> opens
Actual: <https://myvigoreu.draytek.com/download_de/> will
not open because it does not exist. So Error 404.
I see that after a short moment in URL bar "http" becomes replaced by
"https"
Unable to reproduce. I just get the requested directory of downloadable
files. Waited 13 minutes, no switch to https.
A lot of sites automatically redirect you to the https version of
their site, like google.
http://www.google.com redirects to https://www.google.com
True enough, but this one didn't.
As Bret noted, this redirection is probably some feature of the site,
and not of SeaMonkey.
