I'm not sure they could. If the http:// URL would have responded with a redirect to https://, the back button would have worked just fine. Instead it responds with a perfectly normal page that then does this:

    if (location.protocol == 'http:') location.protocol = 'https:';

Blogspot is such a mess, it's the perfect example of Google not necessarily being technically competent.

Yeah that should be a proper permanent redirect on a webserver level. Did Google make Blogspot themselves or did they buy it and never made it conform to normal web page practices?
