>>>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.

You are right that this is a sloppy work on the server (I would use a different word but don't want to be banned from UT :))

Here is the strange thing. The site is set to HTTP (not HTTPS) on port 8082. But the pages only work with the HTTPS protocol. According to the customer IT, the site is "presented via our external F5 Network Load Balancers" (whatever it means). But I am connecting right to the server and open IE right on the server. Why the HTTP does not work, I cannot get.
