Q: Safari keeps redirecting to https

Hi,

For some reason, Safari Version 9.1.2 (11601.7.7) insists on redirecting http requests to https on one particular website, mine: http://blog.f28.ro/ and fails "Safari can’t open the page “https://blog.f28.ro/” because Safari can’t establish a secure connection to the server “blog.f28.ro”."

Which is a load of crap, since my website does not use https and works perfectly on Chrome 52.0.2743.116 (64-bit). The Console app show this at every refresh: Aug 22 19:12:26 MacMini com.apple.WebKit.Networking[309]: NSURLSession/NSURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9802)

Is there any way to stop Safari redirects to inexistent https?

Thanks!

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

Determine if the problems also persist in "Safe Mode":

Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
