I encountered an issue recently with pypi.org, where it was treating 
http://sgallagh.id.fedoraproject.org and 
https://sgallagh.id.fedoraproject.org as separate accounts (up to a 
point where they were causing tracebacks because they shared the same 
email address).

So lesson learned: always drop the protocol prefix.
