I see it does the redirect, and wonder as well if there's an advantage to
calling https directly.
The end user saves a small amount of time by skipping the redirect.
If it is trivial, I'd do it for the snappier load, but I wouldn't spend time
actually worrying about it. (Besides, the load time of external sites isn't
really our problem.)
Another advantage is that we'll know which sites support https:. I did some
experimenting and was surprised at how few news sites support it, for example.
