- marcosdumay 2y agoIn my workplace people also set the machines to forget the redirects from time to time¹. So that it's not a given that the http:// http:// will lead to anything. 1 - How? I have no idea. They are more expert than the author.
- kouru225 2y agoDon’t most browsers just auto direct to https though?
- eastbound 2y agoOnly if there is HSTS (=if the site was visited previously and told the browser to always switch to https for the generally-6 months duration).
- yawpitch 2y agoYes, but the redirection takes both time and energy, that’s what makes it such a good form of sabotage, the grit in the engine that’s too small to notice but still leads to pain and cost.
