[HTTPS-Everywhere] [HTTPS-E Rulesets] Java download broken

[Drake, Brian]

You can use this line to make sure that the HTTP URI isn’t redirected to the
HTTPS one in the first place by HTTPS Everywhere, just to be safe:

<exclusion pattern="^http://www
\.java\.com/inc/BrowserRedirect1.jsp\?locale=en$"/>

Usually, we would stop here, but if you really want that HTTP URI, you
should be able to get it the usual way (may not work in recent versions of
HTTPS Everywhere):

<rule from="^https://www\.java\.com/inc/BrowserRedirect1.jsp\?locale=en$"
to="http://www.java.com/inc/BrowserRedirect1.jsp?locale=en"/>
