Hiltjo Posthuma:
I'm not a fan of automatic http to HTTPs redirects. It would break support for some text-based clients or some simple scripts as an example.
I'm a huge fan of these redirects. A simple 301 Moved Permanently has been part of RFC 2616 sinde 1999 and anything not able to handle that is broken: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.3.2
Can you tell which clients and scripts break and how?
HSTS support makes sure http to https links are changed on the client-side.
Some privacy-settings clean all states on exit, including cookes and HSTS. And people mostly type domains into an URL bar, not protocols.
