Hi BlindPassenger,

glad we could help! As to the reason why? Secure defaults combined with autocompletion, I guess. In the olden days, the browser may have automatically retried with HTTP when HTTPS didn't work but was explicitly specified. Those days are now gone. If you Bookmark it, this might solve future issues since the autocomplete might (and I do mean *might*) pick the HTTP-only bookmark when you enter the address in the location bar.
