I've run a web server on port 8081 for some time since

Recently have noticed things in access_log that show
people are trying to connect to the port 8081 using
https?? Assume it is changes in browsers that want to do
https only.
I'd only go through this pallaver if they cannot make a HTTP
connection. Are the logged attempts failing HTTPS and aborting, or
failing HTTPS then succeeding with HTTP?
I don't agree with this HTTPS everywhere thing. Some things don't need
to be encrypted, and some things can't be. I wouldn't want my browser
to prevent me from being able to browse some service.
