Image-sequencer: Only Allow Https Connection

[harshkhandeparkar]

Please describe the problem (or idea)

Currently sequencer.publiclab.org has an SSL certificate but it can run without https as well. If no https:// is included in the URL, then an insecure connection is opened. We have to always redirect to the https page.

Possible Fix

Create a function which checks the page URL. If the URL doesn't contain https, then it should redirect to https://rest-of-the-url. Run this function before the sequencer is loaded.

E.g.
http://sequencer.publiclab.org#step={} should be redirected to https://sequencer.publiclab.org#steps={}

Any Other Ideas?

If you have any other ideas then please let us know. We can discuss those below.

I have added the label but let's see in the PR if the load time is noticed. Thank you!

Great idea! I think in one of our repos we actually have a redirect... can't remember which though!

I was able to turn on this setting in the gh-pages configuration! I think we can close now, thanks for the great idea!
