Yeah, but that's a subset of "misbehaving servers break the web" as far as I can tell. HTTPS doesn't inherently cause this problem, it just provides one theoretical nucleation point for it.

Serving different things on https and http is completely to spec, though. It's not really a server misbehaving.

(I do agree that it's contrary to expectations, but I'm sure this doesn't stop sites from relying on it.)
