1671882 - Outreachy Contribution to HTTPS-Only Mode (Imali)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1671846

(Core :: DOM: Security, task)

Description

[Imali Esiera]

Attachment: HTTPS-Only mode activated

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/86.0.4240.80 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

-Launch NightlyDebug
-Enable 'HTTPS-Only Mode' (HOM) in the NightlyDebug browser from preferences window.
-Enter the URL: 'http://www.coffeeboardkenya.co.ke/' (in the address bar)

Actual results:

When the URL: 'http://www.coffeeboardkenya.co.ke/' is entered in the address bar, the site correctly redirects the user to the security message. On clicking 'Accept the Risk and Continue', the user is directed to a blank page containing no error message.

However, when the URL is entered directly in the address bar as: 'https://coffeeboardkenya.co.ke/' a 404 Error Page appears denoting that the page does not exist.

Expected results:

On clicking 'Accept the Risk and Continue', the user should be directed to the 404 Error message without having to re-type 'https://coffeeboardkenya.co.ke/' in the address bar.
