Oh it was the EU that closed it down? didn't even know this ended as an option
replyYour 20y old site gave me https errors when I tried to click it, fyi
replyDon't access it over https then? The link is http.
replyDon't most modern browsers automatically redirect http to https?
replyNo they don't. I tried Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. None of them attempted to redirect. They just show a "not secure" warning in the URL bar.
replyThe redirect only happens when it's configured on the web server, set in HSTS, or on a TLD that enforces HTTPS. None of these apply to this website.
Apparently it's not on by default, but all of my browsers do and also warn me whenever a site does not support HTTPS (and require me to explicitly click through to the unencrypted connection).
replyThen use a non-buggy browser...
replyWorks fine on my end. The HTTPS URL gives a 301 permanent redirect to HTTP, and then I ordered some boner pills and put my social security number to confirm.
