Hmmmm... When I access a website that insists on https with http lynx tries http then, if that fails, silently tries https; I can see the evidence in the log. I notice the problem when I use snarf, which doesn't support https: many sites still support http and honor the access, others don't and snarf fails; if I use 'lynx -source' instead it works (usually - on some sites it doesn't). How's HSTS different?
I think the difference is that, in your case, the request http receives a redirect to the https URI, but with HSTS, the http request would never be made and the browser would start with https.
