Then, as I originally asked, why doesn’t the EFF reprogram their servers so that<br><br><a href="https://secure.eff.org/wiretapping">https://secure.eff.org/wiretapping</a><br><br>and similar URLs return a redirect to whatever their preferred address is instead of a 404 error?<br>

</div>I just picked one of the rules at random:<br>
<br>
<rule from="^<a href="http://secure" target="_blank">http://secure</a>\.eff\.org/wiretapping"<br>
<br>
to="<a href="https://secure.eff.org/site/Donation2?idb=1344423068&#x26df_id=1220" target="_blank">https://secure.eff.org/site/Donation2?idb=1344423068&#x26df_id=1220</a>" /><br>
<br>
If we get rid of HTTPS-Everywhere for a second. This request:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://secure.eff.org/wiretapping" target="_blank">http://secure.eff.org/wiretapping</a><br>
<br>
Is a redirect to:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://secure.eff.org/site/Donation2?idb=800130093&df_id=1220&1220.donation=form1&JServSessionIdr004=08bcxydzk1.app213b" target="_blank">https://secure.eff.org/site/Donation2?idb=800130093&df_id=1220&1220.donation=form1&JServSessionIdr004=08bcxydzk1.app213b</a><br>

<br>
However this request:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://secure.eff.org/wiretapping" target="_blank">https://secure.eff.org/wiretapping</a><br>
<br>
Is a 404.<br>
<br>
So that explains that rule. I'm assuming the other rules exist to handle<br>
similar issues but I'll leave that to you to test.<br>
