Description

Issue

When attempting to access https://ocsigen.org/lwt page, the visitor is redirected to the unsecure http://ocsigen.org/lwt/5.2.0/manual/manual page instead of https://ocsigen.org/lwt/5.2.0/manual/manual.

Suggestion

It would probably be best to always enforce https connections everywhere, not only in this precise situation.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the redirect from https://ocsigen.org/lwt and inspect the site's redirect configuration or deployment entry point. Done means the destination remains on HTTPS and equivalent site redirects do not downgrade visitors to HTTP.
