ISSUE-168

Section 5.5.2 might be over-restrictive, especially on first-visit-redirect

State:
CLOSED

Description:
Should we make an explicit exception for the paypal case here, where typing "paypal.com<enter>" into a location bar causes an immediate redirect to https://www.paypal.com? Treating that as "insecure" feels wrong to me, even though as a matter of general principle, redirecting through http is indeed dangerous.
