Chrome can't resolve http://apple.news (https works) |
||||
Issue descriptionVersion: m51 beta OS: iOS, OSX We discovered an issue where typing/pasting apple.news links into Google Chrome won’t resolve. Note that typing https://apple.news links into Chrome do work — the issue is just when you omit https://. The problem appears on iOS and OS X. I don’t have a Windows machine to check. Typing apple.news should redirect you to apple.com/news, but it doesn’t. Same deal with any article link without https:// https://apple.news/AfY9Sdb97TkizvzJs--IjDg Looks like Chrome may not have apple.news in a list of valid TLDs, so it sees “apple.news” as a search term not a domain.

Played with it and the issue isn't PSL. The issue is that apple.news will do TCP RSTs on port 80, and does not advertise an HSTS header when successfully connecting over port 443. The typical way this is done is a redirect on the http traffic to the https service. Solving this client-side would mean that we'd automatically have to try https if http fails, or some other heuristic. There may be interest in doing something like this to increase https adoption, but usually the issue is the inverse (the site listens on https but will redirect to http, or even be broken on https).

Based on the analysis in #2, this seems like not a Chrome bug. Safari manifests the same issue: the site just doesn't respond on port 80, and doesn't let us know we should https upgrade. I'm gonna close this as WontFix.

Thanks for taking a look. I've pushed back with the folks who reported the bug. |
