When accessing http://golang.org, a redirect to HTTPS is made:

$ http http://golang.org
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Content-Length: 42
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2020 21:47:40 GMT
Location: https://golang.org/
Via: 1.1 google

<a href="https://golang.org/">Found</a>.

When doing the same with http://tour.golang.org, no such redirect is happening:

$ http http://tour.golang.org
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Length: 882
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2020 21:48:35 GMT
Server: Google Frontend
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; preload
Vary: Accept-Encoding
X-Cloud-Trace-Context: 893d14db0c7307f3d2e69cf2094d46b5

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="tour">
[...]

On top of that, the website doesn't actually work when served via HTTP - it's blank and various errors are logged:

This isn't a problem for browsers which support HSTS Preloading - but for browsers/libraries which don't, this means the website will be broken (and not redirect to the proper HTTPS variant).

This can be reproduced in Firefox by starting it with a new profile (e.g. mkdir /tmp/ffprofile; firefox --profile /tmp/ffprofile),
opening about:config, setting network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist to false and then visiting tour.golang.org.

Thanks for the report.

I've checked and this applies to {blog,talks}.golang.org as well.

All 3 are hosted on App Engine. This is a matter of configuring their respective app.yaml to set secure: always for all paths, as documented in the "App handlers" section here. This is very minor but nice to fix. I'll send CLs for this.

CC @golang/release, @golang/security.
