Huh, I don't even get a certificate error on https://coffeeshopwifi.com/ - and I got automatically upgraded (I guess due to https everywhere) haha

Browser extensions will redirect HTTP to HTTPS as the request is made, so CoffeeShopWifi can't help you there.

Most sites will send a redirect to HTTPS, which CoffeeShopWifi does not.

So I decided it's safe to make a cert and support HTTPS.

They could stop serving port 443. That would prevent any extensions from automatically upgrading.
