From a user's perspective, it makes no difference. I never type the http://www part of an address anyway. I think the auto redirect is just fine. Personally, I'd also drop the 2 second delay and redirect on the server using a rewrite rule. Maybe add a message if the redirect was necessary to say that if you came to the site from a bookmark, then please update it. But, first of all, fixing the lack of a proper cert would be great. Being forced to use https (which is fine) and then being told "The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.", THAT is more of an issue that a simple redirect.
