Can I stop HTTPS?

[IBMJunkman]

A page on my HTTPS site has a link to a site that does not use HTTPS. The link on my site is coded HTTP. It seems browsers currently force a HTTPS connection. Something on the linked site causes a page not found when HTTPS connection is attempted. I can get it to work if I force Firefox to not use HTTPS.

Is there any way I could code the link to tell a browser not to force HTTPS?

Have you tried using the full address?

<a href="http://lorem.com">Lorem</a>
<a href="http://www.lorem.com">Lorem</a>

<!-- instead of -->

<a href="lorem.com">Lorem</a>
<a href="www.lorem.com">Lorem</a>
