Auto-Redirect to HTTPS #212

Open ajblaida opened 4 years ago

ajblaida commented 4 years ago

We need to redirect to HTTPS when the user visits the application

Detailed Description

Probably some Heroku configuration

Context

If we do not have this redirect, users will pretty naturally end up on http and not be able to provide location services by default in most browsers.

Possible Implementation

Heroku configuration

Heroku doesn't do this naturally at our price tier, so we'll have to put the demo on a custom domain. We can discuss pricing and maybe make that move this week.

A preliminary version of this has been configured. If you head to demo.transittalk.org, it'll redirect properly to the Heroku instance with HTTPS. However, the eventual solution won't involve a redirect at all, and will route directly to the demo live at demo.transittalk.org. I'm holding off on that final change until @shrubin2 has created the new version of the marketing site and we've hosted it at the root of transittalk.org.
