This is because the upgrade logic can't guess the HTTPS port and has to +use the same non-default port number for the upgraded HTTPS URL as the HTTP URL. +In other words, upgrading http://example.com:8123 to https://example.com:8123 +won't work because the server can't serve both http and https on the same port. + +The tests in this directory rely on this fact: +- If HTTPS Upgrading is enabled, http://{{host}}:{{https-port}} will be upgraded + to https://{{host}}:{{https-port}} and load properly. +- Otherwise, http://{{host}}:{{https-port}} will remain unchanged and won't + load, since the server serves http URLs on {{http-port}} instead. + +Therefore, the simplest way to run these tests is through +[wpt.live](http://wpt.live/https-upgrades) which serves the files over default +ports. |
