I'm aware, the practice is that we bump protocol even if the resulting URL gets redirected back to insecure (same for mixed-content and other HTTPS implementation details). The idea is that website owners would eventually fix their site configuration and content to be served in a secure manner.

(having said that, it's probably a good idea to raise such issues with said website owners.)

@srl295: In case you have any influence on that particular redirection, I'd be nice to get it fixed to remain on HTTPS. Or even better: to offer HTTPS over the default domain.

@vszakats I have less influence than the actual Googlers on the project :) But really— please use either http://site.icu-project.org or even just http://icu-project.org for stability. https://ssl.icu-project.org as a homepage is probably the least stable of them.

^ i wouldn't reopen this PR for now. Could update in #33011 …  Just a FYI. Yes I would prefer https here also.

@srl295 Please leave it as-is for now. The SSL domain has been there for many-many years, so it's safe to assume that it's fairly stable. We can update it once it breaks (or any fix is being applied to the website.)
