Details

(Whiteboard: [domsecurity-backlog1])

See: https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/teaching/.

Scroll down the page a bit and click on any link that leads to randomwalker.info. These links are HTTP and will redirect back to the original domain (i.e., https://www.cs.princeton.edu/).

When https only mode is enabled the navigation never completes.

I'm not sure if this is something specific to how Arvind's website is set up. If it's a more general issue note that this is likely a somewhat common pattern -- the entire site used to be hosted on randomwalker.info and is now how a global redirect rule to the secure origin. However, some outdated links remain.

Julian, could you investigate this one please? Thanks!

it's apparently stalling out on the stylesheet <link>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://randomwalker.info/css/base.css" />

dveditz is right. Interesting that this issue hasn't come up until now.
