Problem: Automatic redirect to HTTPS
-
Vivaldi (as well as other Webkit browsers) seems to automatically check if there is a reply on https:// when visiting a http:// url, and then use the https:// one if there is. This behaviour makes [b]no sense at all[/b]: I can't visit certain http:// websites because of this. There is no guarantee that a server serves the same content/website on port 443 as on 80. This makes Vivaldi unusable for some websites. I have to use lynx or crappy Firefox right now, because I can't get it to work in Webkit browsers (tested on Vivaldi, Opera and Chromium). This "feature" should be removed, doesn't even make sense to offer a configuration option.

True, this site works for me as well. But I still have this problem on an internal site. Let me debug some more to find the difference.

Yeah, that's mine - didn't want to publish URL.
I hope someone tells me what the problem was once this is resolved.. -
This is still a problem 2 years on.
I click a http link in my inbox and go to the site, Vivaldi converts it to https.
I have tested the same link from other browsers and they behave correctly.1.14.1047.3 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Itβs not unusual, in fact the browsers are required to do that if the website owner says so.
Which site?
