Q:

How can I connect to a HTTPS site via HTTP

We have CheckPoint in our company. I am using Anonymox to bypass CheckPoint. Everything is OK except when I try to connect HTTPS sites I cannot bypass CheckPoint.
For example I can watch videos on YouTube unless I'm logged into YouTube. If I log in, then YouTube starts to use HTTPS and I cannot connect.
Any solution for this?
Note: Anonymox is a plugin for Firefox that allows you to use their proxies.

A:

If a web server is configured to redirect you to https://example.com from any http://example.com request, there is nothing you can do.
This is a server-side setting that you cannot influence. The server will not respond to HTTP.
If it was possible for someone to force the use of HTTP when the server only accepts HTTPS, this would constitute a huge security flaw.
