1250065 - Append HTTPS automatically in the location bar while typing a remembered HTTPS connection, NOT HTTP

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect, P2)

Description

[rakib.amin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/48.0.2564.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Type in https://yoursecuredomain.gTLD once. Bookmark it (optional) / visit it.
2. Do step 1 again, Firefox automatically brings it up the suggestion drop-down list. Hit enter.



Actual results:

Page Not Found/404 page is shown. Looking at the location bar, the url isn't "https://yoursecuredomain.gTLD". It's become http://yoursecuredomain.gTLD. Firefox didn't append https, it appended http.


Expected results:

Go to page https://yoursecuredomain.gTLD

I can't actually reproduce this.  Firefox uses the https URL.  Can you still reproduce?  This is what I'm doing to be specific:

1. Start a new profile
2. Type https://example.com, hit Return
3. Open a new tab, close the old one
4. Type https://example.com (which is autofilled to have a trailing slash), hit Return

Even if I type example.com in step 4 without the https, if I let it autofill and hit Return, it loads the https URL.  But if I let it autofill and then delete the trailing autofilled slash and hit Return, then it loads http.

Hi, I have tested again in 47.0.1. The bug seems to be no more, goes to https://. I thought it was a cache update problem, like if you visit http://doman.com, and then they (doman) enables secure server login and then becomes https://doman.com, firefox doesn't update it. IT'S RESOLVED.

Thanks for your time. And sorry for the inconvenience caused.
