This feature request is a bit more strict than the others. This might not be possible today, but when most web pages out there are accessible through https.
The biggest problem I see is that falling back to http pages will take twice as long as accessing them directly.
Another problem is that there might be pages out there serving different content on https/http. But imho it's their problem.

It's actually a problem of any user of those pages. That may be millions of people.
