[Feature Request] HTTPS link rewrite / redirect

for sites that their HTTPS version has a different address than their regular one.

for example:

http://www.google.com/search
https://encrypted.google.com/search

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/


and if possible, a general link re-writer in NoScript could have other creative uses such as making you swim through less clutter when you want to sample a band's music in Myspace

http://www.myspace.com/SomeBand --rewrite to--> http://www.myspace.com/SomeBand/music


also a general link re-writer could be useful for places like Privacy Settings of facebook where it doesn't want you to use HTTPS for some odd reason:

https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy&ref=mb --rewrite to--> http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy&ref=mb



Thanks for your great work.

It has been already proposed, and will be probably implemented at some point in the future, as an ABE syntax extension, like

Code: Select all

Site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(.*)
Rewrite https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/$1

Unfortunately this works for document (page) loads only: subrequests (images, stylesheets, scripts, plugins and so on) are unaffected.
