The web server(s) at antirez.com are weirdly configured. So it’s not so easy for the web browser to display a very clear error message in this case. If you run this command you can see a little more clearly what’s going on: wget --no-check-certificate -S -O - https://antirez.com/news/124 If you use the plain HTTP URL, everything works fine. If you try https://antirez.com/news/124 https://antirez.com/news/124 the web server at antirez.com:443 will answer this: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Server: nginx/1.10.2 Date: Sat, 04 Sep 2021 18:15:46 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 185 Connection: keep-alive Location: https://redis.io/news/124 So it’s not HTTPS Everywhere that redirects, it’s the web server itself. However, many clients won’t heed this response, since antirez.com:443 serves a certificate that’s not valid for that hostname.
