Comment:

 There are really two issues here. The first relates to Appcache canceling
 WebRequest redirects for resources in the NETWORK whitelist section. This
 is the issue for the website that triggered the present bug. This issue is
 covered and fixed here:
 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=141114. I can confirm
 that there are no issues with 23.0.1262.0 dev release of Chrome and
 http://www.ericperrets.info/index.html. The Google-hosted resources from
 the NETWORK section load over HTTPS as expected.

 The second issue relates to what happens when WebRequest is used to
 redirect resources that are explicitly app-cached. This issue is being
 hashed out in this bug:
 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=121325. Regardless of
 the outcome of that bug, site operators now have the ability to make
 HTTPS-E play nice with their appcache by placing the re-written HTTPS
 resources in the appcache.

 I am marking this bug closed, since it relates to the former issue. The
 latter issue deserves a separate bug if there are sites we find that break
 because of explicitly appcached resources.
