Comment(by grarpamp):
watch the firefox "web console" and "error console".
definitely not your second sentence.
i think i was referring to some form of your first. re: the error console.
i think if a rule rewrote http to https, but the server
didn't like or respond to https, https-e would just fall back to http.
well, that's great for feeding the user a working web site,
whether https or not. but not great for rule writers because they
need to see how the https failed.
ie: exactly as if they'd entered the https url directly on a
browser without https-e installed... you'll see a browser timeout,
or a server timeout, or some server error.
as for a loop, i think i saw some 302 redirection loops, that
would eventually fall back, not sure.
but it was the automatic and permanent switch back to http that was the
problem.
