Haven’t tried IPv6, which noone uses...) If you cared to acquire more knowledge about this (e.g., [1].[2],[3]), you would be surprised. (In this case, I am too lazy to find out whether www.irtf.org came via a stagecoach or via today’s IP.)

And then: $ /usr/bin/curl -I https://www.irtf.org/ HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2018 00:27:46 GMT Server: Apache Location: http://irtf.org/ Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 As it should be. (Except that the copy of curl at hand doesn’t accept the cert chain, so I have to switch to another copy. Standard fare.)
