Is there a way in Chrome to use SSL by default?

What I would like to do is have Chrome automatically switch me to SSL connections if a site supports it.

So if I type for example: www.somesite.com in the browser I want Chrome to try to connect me straight to https://www.somesite.com if it doesn't exist, then redirect me to plain text http.

Is there a setting, plugin or some way to do this?

Update: The Electronic Frontier Foundation have a tool called HTTPS Everywhere for Firefox which does this but it's Firefox only.


Take a look at the Secure Sites extension for Chrome.
