Bad news for https://howtoopenanumberedaccount.com visitors (Host header in plaintext) and people who click on links to http://ponies.net from https://reddit.com/r/LaunderYourCash (Referer header in plaintext)

AFAIK browsers will not provide a referrer if the previous page in case you go from https to http. Firefox has an option to disable https to https referer sharing btw.

Presumably the non-https assets which get pulled in when the main request is fulfilled could also act as a "fingerprint" of the page you are visiting?
