I just wanted to clarify that I am looking for an extension that

would
already have a firewall or some other layer7 filtering device
blocking
unencrypted traffic.  The addon "Better Gmail" does something
similar
to this, with the "force HTTPS" option, but not exactly...

What should this hypothetical extension do if it automagically
redirect
http: to https:, but the target server is something that is only
listening
on port 80 because it doesn't have https: enabled?

https://www.cnn.com just sorta sits there for me.
