Larry,
The problem is that HTTP without TLS and HTTP with TLS are using two
different schemes. We have specified that the URL resource locator part
of the URI SHOULD be the same, but you might for instance have different
ports for the two schemes, which would result in differences.
BTW has there been any discussion in the W3C HTTP NG project about
whether it would share the scheme with the current HTTP or be a totally
new scheme?
