#7584: HTTPS Everywhere breaks links from PubMed to BiomedCentral
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Reporter: cypherpunks | Owner: pde
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: EFF-HTTPS Everywhere | Version:
Keywords: | Parent:
Points: | Actualpoints:
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Using Firefox with HTTPS Everywhere add-on, start here:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23116330
With HTTPS Everywhere enabled, click the link in the top-right corner,
"Read Free Full Text at BioMedCentral"
This will lead to
http://www.biomedcentral.com:443/1756-0500/5/610/abstract
and produce this error:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>400 Bad Request</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Bad Request</h1>
<p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<br
/>
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.<br />
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.<br />
<blockquote>Hint: <a
href="https://127.0.0.1/";><b>https://127.0.0.1/</b></a></blockquote></p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 443</address>
</body></html>
Manually replacing "http" with "https" produces the correct page.
With the "BioMed-Central" rule in HTTPS Everywhere disabled, the link
works as expected (albeit without switching to https).
I am using HTTPS-E 3.0.4 on Firefox 17.0 (Fedora 17)
