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.
If it's the site .... Could you explain why ONLY Rainer Bielefeld have
the problem ?
I can't, hence the "probably."
On the other hand, I can't think of any reason why SM would alter a URL.
It's SeaMonkey 2.46, based on Gecko 52.0 which has changes to it that
redirects http to https pages, if they exist?
No idea why it doesn't in a new profile, other than there are no changes
and his production profile is corrupt.
