Redirect problem with the safer-networking.org RSS feed
I noticed the feed hasn't worked in some time in my RSS reader (Inoreader) with the error "cURL error 47: Maximum (5) redirects followed"
I can confirm the issue if I use curl on my own machine:
Code:
C:\Users\PC>curl -vvvvv http://www.safer-networking.org/feed/
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying 188.165.126.152...
* Connected to www.safer-networking.org (188.165.126.152) port 80 (#0)

So the plain http version redirects to https, but from https it redirects back to http:
Code:
C:\Users\PC>curl -kvvvvv https://www.safer-networking.org/feed/

So we get a loop. I hope you can see why this is an issue.
