This one is easy to answer: the customer support people aren't particularly technical. In many ways, Amazon is a weird mashup of a traditional retailer and a tech company.
- hbosch 8y agoYeah, this is one of those things that might look weird at first but is probably just a wonky quirk of bureaucratic systems, PR engagement, non-technical writers and probably even autocorrect. It's not far from the realm of possibility that someone tried to sign off a pre-written e-mail with "Amazon.com" and somewhere along the line a token "http://" http://" got added to it by sheer mistake. That being said, one of the biggest companies in the world should be more attentive when sending out e-mails like this.
- ouaiueoaieaeoiu 8y agoTo add insult to injury, http://amazon.com http://amazon.com redirects (301) to https://amazon.com https://amazon.com, but does not publish HSTS headers nor is it in the hstspreload list (but www.amazon.com is). https://hstspreload.org/?domain=amazon.com https://hstspreload.org/?domain=amazon.com https://hstspreload.org/?domain=www.amazon.com https://hstspreload.org/?domain=www.amazon.com
