Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.135 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Load a flash SWF file which tries to load an external URL.  The URL to load from inside flash was on the http protocol and triggered a previously set HSTS header which forced it to redirect to the HTTPS version.


Actual results:

The URL will not load as expected.  In firebug it shows up as a 0 byte response which never finishes loading.  In the native developer tools no request attempt is displayed at all.


Expected results:

The url should have redirected to the https version and loaded.
