Well, we can wish, but I don't know that it will feedback to the right place.
(On my laptop, I open a disposable firefox profile (without HTTPS
everywhere), and I have to find some site that has an http redirect. I can
usually depend upon my city's web site to be clueless.
That's a lot of effort and I'm technically clueful. The Freehand Chicago had
all these problems, plus their DNS was intolerant of AAAA requests.)
So I don't see HTTPS as fixing or shaming any portals; rather I just see
users getting frustrated and going someplace else without knowing why.
They don't call support; and if they do, support will ask them to "turn it
off and on", and to please try IE6.
What they might do is write a review, and this is where I think we need to do
something.
