WP_HOME constant will force-redirect static front page but not posts on front page

[eclev91]

When a static front page is set and I have an HTTPS URL configured with the WP_HOME constant (such as https://example.org) and I try to navigate to http://example.org, I'll be redirected to https://example.org.

When the front page is set to show latest posts and I do the same thing, WP will respond successfully to http://example.org with no redirect.

I imagine this isn't specific to http/https. If my server is configured to respond to other URLs with the WP app, I think it would respond to anything.

This behavior seems like it ought to be consistent. The code in wp-includes/canonical.php around line 192 is responsible, and perhaps another case should be added?
