A bit unrelated, but the page includes this bit of code:

  <script type='text/javascript'>
  if(window.location.protocol != 'http:') {
    location.href = location.href.replace("https://", "http://");
  }
  </script>
Why?

Edit: worse, everything seems fine when in HTTPS. Legacy code?



Unfortunately I'm unable to browse this site with the HTTPS Everywhere plugin as I get stuck in an endless loop.


I suppose the workaround would be to disable the plugin for this page...


Disabling JavaScript worked fine for me (via uBlock Origin).


Protocol ping pong:

It took me a full 10 seconds to figure out what I was looking at here.


Brave loops endlessly out of the box, as well.


Looks like some kind of protest against https. Some people don’t like it for whatever reason
