Due to HSTS (It maybe preloaded in your browser), the browser internally redirects http://gist.new to https://gist.new. And then receives a 301 from the web server (which is cacheable) to redirect you to your final destination.

Edit: It is (https://hstspreload.org/?domain=gist.new)



In fact, the entire .new TLD is preloaded: https://hstspreload.org/?domain=new


AFAIK google is doing this (HSTS preloading the entire gTLD) for many gTLDs they own, including .app


And .dev
