[Repo-criteria-discuss] HSTS screw?

I cannot use my preferred browser to connect to a WiFi portal in the
best way any more.  Portals generally require the user to specify some
site to visit.  The best choice is wikipedia, a site that does nothing
nasty and that lots of people use.

But now the browser forces https when I connect to Wikipedia.  (Is
this HSTS at work?)  That typically fails totally because the portal
does not handle https at all.

Do you have a solution for this?
