So this one is trickier:

• We prefer not to have redirects
• But we don't like http links.
  So we want to have https links that doesn't redirect.
  In case there aren't any, we prefer having an https link that redirect to an http link because, when they will fix their website to support https correctly, the link will be automatically fixed while the http one will not.

I see. Mostly they go from https to http because they don't want to pay for the certificate anymore. This way when they renew the certificate the URL will stop redirecting.

Counter argument can be made that, taking users from https to http on same domain is considered deceptive. It'll look bad for those domains.

There are free certificates nowadays. (See https://letsencrypt.org/ )

Approving, but waiting for Eric's review before merging.

[teoli2003]

I'm changing strategy here: I will merge this to prevent the rotting of the bug. If Eric finds any problem, we'll fix it in a follow-up.
