These days, many sites automatically redirect http requests to https.

This would seem like a good thing.

However, there are still some, most notably http://nginx.org/ and http://www.apache.org/, that do not redirect to https.

These people write server software, so I guess they must know what they are doing. This makes me wonder:

Is there a compelling reason for these sites not to redirect to https automatically?

  • both `http://nginx.org` and `http://www.apache.org` return `307 Internal Redirect` for me and then reroute me to https. I'm using Brave browser. – Mousa Halaseh Mar 29 '21 at 09:50
  • @Moses: Strange. I'm not seeing any redirects in the Firefox network console. Just the `200 OK`. – djvg Mar 29 '21 at 10:06
  • There could be a variety of reasons. Who's to say? Could try contacting them and see what answers they provide. – tilleyc Mar 29 '21 at 19:00
