 Priority:  normal                |      Milestone:
Component:  EFF-HTTPS Everywhere  |        Version:  HTTPS-E 3.4.3

----------------------------------+-------------------------------
 The server at people.mozilla.com redirects requests to people.mozilla.org,
 but the Mozilla rule in HTTPS-Everywhere redirects requests to the .org
 version to the .com version.  This results in an infinite loop.

 The notes in the XML for mozilla.org subdomains include:
 - people        (→ people.mozilla.com)

 This should probably be reversed in the notes as well as in the ruleset.
 I don't know whether the .com domain used to be canonical one, and then
 Mozilla changed it; or if it's always been incorrect in the ruleset.

 As an aside:  This issue was found while using HTTPS-Everywhere 3.4.5 for
 Firefox; this version does not appear to be in the Version dropdown for
 the this ticket, so I picked 3.4.3 instead.
