There's a page that's been bugging me for a while, it's ranked just above me in google for a particular term. But clicking on it gives a google page with "Page not found - connection failure" and an error message.

It's an askaboutmoney thread - I thought it had been taken down for some reason and google hadn't caght up with that yet.

But I've just realised that google has it indexed as:
"http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=3&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.askaboutmoney.com%........"

So obviously I'm not going to be able to access it. Removing the s allows me to access the thread no problem.

Does google usually index https? Indeed, how does it do so?

Is it a case that someone linked to the thread with the https version of the URL?

Odd
Google will index both http and https, but I'd have expected it to drop a link it couldn't connect to
