Inconsistency in the naming for load balancer annotation.

Isn't this supposed to be http-redirect-https? Most guides also say that it's http-redirect-https, but in the code itself it's http-redirect-http.

That should indeed be http-redirect-https. Though changing this now would be a breaking change. Perhaps best to add the correct option besides and use that if its set and fall back to the old annotation otherwise.

I would be more concerned about people using http-redirect-https (as it is shown in the docs) in a misconfigured way causing it to break after an update. Perhaps just have a new annotation called ssl-redirect (same as ingress-nginx).

After looking at it again, I understand why http-redirect-http was chosen in the first place. The API schema for this is { "http": {"redirect-http": true }}, so the annotation was chosen to be equivalent.

To help with some confusion, but keep it mostly consistent with the API we would prefer the following solution:

• Add new annotation "load-balancer.hetzner.cloud/http-redirect-https"
• If specified use the value from (new) http-redirect-https
• If the new annotation is not specified, use the value of (old) http-redirect-http
