There is NO reason to put a reg site like this on HTTPS!!

I don't disagree that a secure site is not needed. But that's not the topic in the subject. Redirecting does not cause a secure connection to occur unless a proper security certificate and other server features are available.
- Redirecting as you describe (http to https) just causes a security warning in the browser, since a secure connection is not allowed. If it was allowed, it would work like the automatic redirection from http://www.fastmail.com to https://www.fastmail.com.
- Redirecting as in the subject (https to http) would be a security flaw. We don't want to force a secure connection attempt with https and get redirection to an insecure http website.
