Clicking a link vs. typing the link in the address bar gives different SVG output.

I have a web app that uses SVG to render. There's a problem with SVG gradient fills rendering when I type the URL of the application that doesn't occur when I navigate to the site via a bookmark.

If you navigate to https://www.draw.io?ff=1 you'll see the correct result, an SVG rect with a gradient fill. If you manually type that URL, the fill fails.

I've tested this on FF 3.6, 18, 29 and 31 on Windows 7, OS X 10.9 and Linux Mint 17, they all show this behaviour.

I found this thread that might be related and I've tested in safe mode with the cache cleared and that doesn't help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1005522?esab=a&as=aaq

We've solved this, the problem was the way we redirected to https using window.location.protocol. We're now using window.location.href and it works.
