</div>EFF has been working on one called HTTPS Everywhere:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/</a><br>
<br>
There are some subtle issues around situations where a site<br>
supports HTTPS for some resources but not others. For example,<br>
you can currently use<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.google.com/" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/</a><br>
<br>
for encrypted web search, but only the unencrypted form<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en</a><br>
<br>
for translation services. As a result, HTTPS Everywhere has a<br>
database of rules with exceptions, so that a rule can apply to<br>
only a portion of a site.<br>
<br>
This may not do exactly what you want because you might prefer<br>
to block HTTP URLs entirely, rather than allowing them only if<br>
no HTTPS equivalent exists. You could probably achieve this in<br>
HTTPS Everywhere by adding a local wildcard rule that matches<br>
every HTTP site and redirects it to an intentionally broken<br>
page, such as a URL within your local host. The means of setting<br>
up your own local rewrite rules are described at<br>
