>>>Hi,

>>>Note that it is "http" above and not "https". How would you make it that the browser would add "https" instead of "http"?

>>It's not really the browser that adds it. If the browser makes a http request to a server which uses https then the server will redirect to the https port. What appears in the browser address bar is the address being used.

Sounds like sloppy work on the server end :-{
If that isn't going to change then most browsers have either internal settings or extensions which will force the use of https when available.
For example, for Chrome you could try :
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/use-https/kbkgnojednemejclpggpnhlhlhkmfidi/detailsor
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kb-ssl-enforcer/flcpelgcagfhfoegekianiofphddckof/details
