Who knows what links people may have put into their web pages at which times and for which reasons or what they type in their browser address bars; those are not very pressing questions either. The reason the redirection wasn't changed yet to avoid redirecting incoming HTTPs connections to HTTP URIs elsewhere merely is that the people having the necessary access to the www.openbsd.org server are busy and apparently don't consider it a priority to improve this particular detail. While i do maintain man.openbsd.org, i don't have access to www.openbsd.org, and i'm not sure i even want such access. Yours, Ingo
