Description Bram 2013-08-09 08:05:35 UTC 
Using HTTPS gives a weird result.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Visit http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/
2. Edit the url, to reflect https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/

Result: After accepting the snake-oil certificate, you end up in an Apache
directory listing.

Expected result: All the glory of step 1, but then encrypted on transport by a
random cerificate.

Bug reported earlier and reposted here from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=705643

Given there's a snakeoil cert and such, I don't know why you expect this to work.

We might do something to SSL-enable all vhosts at some point in the future, but for now I'm closing this as wontfix.
Comment 2 Tim Müller 2014-01-24 13:22:17 UTC 
Maybe one could add an https:// -> http:// redirect ?
Comment 3 Tollef Fog Heen 2014-01-24 18:40:58 UTC 
Given you have to manually go and change http to https in the first place, I think that's a bit pointless.
Comment 4 Christian Stadelmann 2015-05-28 11:16:41 UTC 
I ran into the same behavior for other subdomains like http://wayland.freedesktop.org/ .

Since there is no https://wayland.freedesktop.org/ or https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ I think it would be better to give an HTTP status (error) code like 404.
