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.
