Tim Chase: 'Does Lynx respect HSTS (hypertext strict transport
security) such that, if a site says it will always be HTTPS, lynx will
redirect any encountered HTTP to the corresponding HTTPS URL?'
Thomas Dickey: 'no, it doesn't (patches welcome...)'
Hmmmm... When I access a website that insists on https with
http lynx tries http then, if that fails, silently tries https; I can
see the evidence in the log. I notice the problem when I use snarf,
which doesn't support https: many sites still support http and honor
the access, others don't and snarf fails; if I use 'lynx -source'
instead it works (usually - on some sites it doesn't).
How's HSTS different?
