Documentation Correction

Reported by luispere...@gmail.com, Mar 3 2016

Issue description

I didn't know where else to report this, I found a small typo in the online documentation on the following page:

https://www.chromium.org/hsts

Second sentence reads:

The issue that HSTS addresses is that users tend to type http:// at best, and omit the scheme entirely most of the time. In the latter case, browsers will insert http:// for them.

I'm guessing it was supposed to say "https://" not "http://"

Marking the above issue as Untriaged as this is related to documentation.

No I believe the documentation is correct. If you type a hostname "example.com" the browser will first try "http://example.com" that is what it is referring to.

The document then goes to describe what HSTS does.
