Georgia Minute by Minute

Re:Georgia Minute by Minute by zinekeller on Sunday August 01, 2021 @01:58PM (#28028445)

A bit unrelated, but the page includes this bit of code:

  <script type='text/javascript'>
  if(window.location.protocol != 'http:') {
    location.href = location.href.replace("https://", "http://");
  }
  </script>

Why?

Edit: worse, everything seems fine when in HTTPS. Legacy code?

Unfortunately I'm unable to browse this site with the HTTPS Everywhere plugin as I get stuck in an endless loop.

I suppose the workaround would be to disable the plugin for this page...

Disabling JavaScript worked fine for me (via uBlock Origin).

It took me a full 10 seconds to figure out what I was looking at here.

Brave loops endlessly out of the box, as well.

Looks like some kind of protest against https. Some people don’t like it for whatever reason
