There should be no need to redirect to https, as that is done by the TLP server

[sebbASF]

Requests to http://beam.apache.org/ are already redirected to https:// by the infra TLP server, so it is not clear why this is needed:

beam/website/www/site/static/.htaccess

Lines 3 to 15 in e12436a

	# This is a 301 (permanent) redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.
	# The next rule applies conditionally:
	# * the host is "beam.apache.org",
	# * the host comparison is case insensitive (NC),
	# * HTTPS is not used.
	RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^beam\.apache\.org [NC]
	RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
	# Rewrite the URL as follows:
	# * Redirect (R) permanently (301) to https://beam.apache.org/,
	# * Stop processing more rules (L).
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://beam.apache.org/$1 [L,R=301]

Hi @sebbASF, thanks for opening this issue.

I’m new to the Beam community but happy to take a look.
From what I understand, the HTTPS redirect is already handled by Apache TLP infra, so the rules in .htaccess may be redundant.

I’ll verify whether removing the redirect rules is safe and propose a PR if that looks correct.
Please let me know if there’s anything specific I should check.
