Maybe we could have the following beheviour : - Case 1 : HTTP and HTTPS website The user types "myurl" ; the browser redirects him to "http://myurl" ; then, in the background, it checks wether the website is available in HTTPS ; it finds out it is, so a pop-up asks the user if he wants to switch to the secure version or not (and can remember this choice for later connexions). - Case 2 : HTTP-only website The user types "myurl" ; the browser redirects him to "http://myurl" ; then, in the background, it checks wether the website is available in HTTPS, but it is not ; it does nothing, and everything's ok. - Case 3 : HTTPS-only website The user types "myurl" ; the browser tries to redirects him to "http://myurl" ; when the connection times out, it tries to redirect him to "https://myurl" ; it works, and everything's ok. The browser could remember that too for later connexions.
