SSL Error Page when automatically changing to HTTPS even though the url has an HTTP port defined (example.com:8080) #66

Hi, I am using latest Firefox and HTTPZ. I've read that HTTPZ doesn't save some options, and also tried clearing the list of http sites and it also didn't work. Adding the site in my issue to exclusions did work but i didn't try if it saves the exclusion list between restarts.

On https://userupload.net/ after the captcha and creating your download link, the link it gives you is HTTP with the port 8080. HTTPZ changes it to HTTPS resulting in a error page. (SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.)

I don't know if it is a easy fix, but when a link gives a port that is not used in HTTPS, then HTTPZ should not even try to change it to HTTPS. I don't know if it will ever be fixed, including all the other problems that i found when searching for my problem. Since there's not much code or issue resolving activity for about one year, i just switched to HTTPS Everywhere because there's not that much options for doing what HTTPZ does.

Thanks for the extension, Hoping it will be fixed sometime.

Something was wrong with my firefox profile. HTTPZ in a clean profile added the site to ignore list and worked fine.
