Not sure I'd trust the expertise of someone who doesn't know how to redirect to https...

For a service like this one, it is essential not to automatically redirect to https, because many simple and/or command line clients do not automatically follow (resolve) a HTTP redirect answer.

This service also works perfectly fine with https://ifconfig.co/

Isn't it the user agent's job to support your preferences?
