It would be nice if that redirect either always used https, or used https if it were called that way. And I have just updated my “Rewrite IETF ID URLs to Tools or Datareacker” Chrome extension to redirect to the ‘https://' versions of pages instead of the http:// ones. This will rewrite the "official" IETF Internet Draft URLs (http://www.ietf.org/id/foo-42.txt) to the Tools (http://tools.ietf.org/html/foo-42) or Datatracker (http://datatracker.ietf.org/docs/foo) versions instead. It was originally written back when the ID Announce (and similar) emails didn’t include links to the more friendly formats, but a number of folk find it useful.
