I currently have a block in our webserver config that redirects 80/tcp/http to 443/tcp/https for all connections. This has been a legacy support for browsers that take an input of aninix.net and try http://aninix.net/ as the resolved URL.

This will change in April 2026 as detailed in this forum -- browsers will start using HTTPS by default and warning users about HTTP connections. I do not want to support plaintext connections, as I use a communicated chain of trust to present the webserver and encryption helps to ensure that content is unmodified in transit.

I will drop this block and remove the firewall rule. Browers attempting to access http://aninix.net should redirect up to HTTPS -- those that don't will fail the connection. Search engines seem to understand that we are an HTTPS website. We will also inform users by RSS & social media.
