Hmmmm... When I access a website that insists on https with

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?
I think the difference is that, in your case, the request http receives
a redirect to the https URI, but with HSTS, the http request would never
be made and the browser would start with https.
