 I'm having a strange issue with HTTPS Everywhere.  It breaks server
 redirects over HTTPS on my site when authentication is also required.  It
 may also be related that I'm using a self-signed cert.

 An example: https://nylen.tv/test should redirect to
 https://nylen.tv/test/ but it doesn't.  The server is sending the Location
 header properly, but Chrome does not follow it and shows the 301 page
 instead.   (The username for that URL is `test` and the password is
 `testing`).

 What is even more strange is that if you refresh the page, the redirect
 happens like it's supposed to.
