I'm a huge fan of these redirects. A simple 301 Moved Permanently has
been part of RFC 2616 sinde 1999 and anything not able to handle that is
broken: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.3.2

Can you tell which clients and scripts break and how?

Some privacy-settings clean all states on exit, including cookes and
HSTS. And people mostly type domains into an URL bar, not protocols.
