HTTPS Everywhere breaks links from PubMed to BiomedCentral
Using Firefox with HTTPS Everywhere add-on, start here:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23116330
With HTTPS Everywhere enabled, click the link in the top-right corner, "Read Free Full Text at BioMedCentral"
This will lead to
http://www.biomedcentral.com:443/1756-0500/5/610/abstract
and produce this error:
400 Bad RequestBad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.
Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.
Hint: https://127.0.0.1/
Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 443
Manually replacing "http" with "https" produces the correct page.
With the "BioMed-Central" rule in HTTPS Everywhere disabled, the link works as expected (albeit without switching to https).
I am using HTTPS-E 3.0.4 on Firefox 17.0 (Fedora 17)
