Description Michael Catanzaro 2016-12-03 20:07:19 UTC 
Broken HTTPS Everywhere rulesets could cause page loads to fail if the server is no longer listening on 443. We need to remember if we used HTTPS Everywhere to rewrite a URI and try the original URI in this case. Since HTTPS Everywhere rulesets can apply arbitrary transformations to the URIs, this means we have to save the original URI, we can't just assume it's https:// -> http://.

OK, I've discovered a specific site that breaks:

http://www.unicode.org/

This can't happen. I think reloading the page the original, non-rewritten URI should suffice.
