 This bug is filed against the production version of https://www.eff.org
 /https-everywhere/atlas/domains/cmu.edu-2.html

 HTTPS Everywhere silently breaks pages within the
 http://www.cmu.edu/graduate/professional-development/ directory, because
 these pages embed HTTP forms that are available in HTTPS format (by
 changing http://cmu.savvior.com/... to https://savvior.com/cmu/... in form
 URLs) but the secure versions are not currently active.  The workaround is
 to use HTTP only for browsing that portion of cmu.edu, but the rule (when
 enabled) silently prevents that.
