    Web browsers don't auto-detect https either; they rely on the protocol in the URL. Commented Feb 1, 2016 at 6:16
  • @cjm. Yes. But if I browse "google.com", it's going to "https-google.com" Commented Feb 1, 2016 at 6:31
  • That's because google runs http servers that redirect the request. if you telnet to port 80 of www.google.com and send GET /, you can see the redirect. The browser doesn't do it automatically. Commented Feb 1, 2016 at 7:06
