domain won't redirect with HTTPS

Question

I'm trying to set up a 301 redirect from example.com to example.info. example.info is already correctly set up to redirect HTTP to HTTPS (using GitHub Page's "Enforce HTTPS" option). I have the following DNS records (in Namecheap) for example.com:

URL Redirect Record     @     http://example.info
URL Redirect Record     www   http://example.info

Those are the only DNS records.

With those settings, I get the following results:

• https://example.com > Connection Timeout ❌
• https://www.example.com > Connection Timeout ❌
• http://example.com > http://example.info > https://example.info ✅
• http://www.example.com > http://example.info > https://example.info ✅

Why won't the redirect work with HTTPS? How can I fix this?
