For Avination, the above approach would result in failure. The HTTP
variant of the login server serves grid info only, but it DOES
exist, resulting in the http "semi-suceeding" and https never being
tried.

There are two ways to go about this:

hop://https/login.avination.com/region/....

or

hops://login.avination.com/region/...

I'd prefer the latter.
