RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1158191

People

(Reporter: wica128, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

We have site's which only response on HTTPS and not on HTTP.
When I put the FQDN in de address bar it defaults to http://

Actual results:

Server Not Found
Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.
....

Expected results:

It would be really nice, when you put a FQDN in the address bar, it will use HTTPS:// instead of HTTP://
So it will give a "Server not found" on https, when to site is not running on https.
