Please check this article. Please ignore if @theo-armour already has plans in place to address this.

Thanks for the heads up.

I agree that adding https to http://www.ladybug.tools would be a really good thing. And its not just http://www.ladybug.tools/spider/ that would benefit but also http://www.ladybug.tools/honeybee.html and all the other Ladybug Tools.

The domain name registrar for ladybug.tools is Google Domains but the actual admin name is private. I do believe, however, that the domain owner is @mostaphaRoudsari. If the change to HTTPS is to be made, I think Mostapha has to get the ball rolling.

BTW, I am currently running into a number of places where HTPS is required so I use rawgit.com to get around the limitations.

Examples:

• https://rawgit.com/ladybug-tools/ladybug-web/gh-pages/solar-calculator-ladybug-web/solar-calculator-ladybug-web-r1.js
• https://cdn.rawgit.com/mrdoob/three.js/r89/build/three.min.js

Can certbot not be used to sort this out? How is the website hosted as of now? On a VM? Docker container? Or using Google specific framework?

It's hosted on GitHub Pages! As of yesterday we can get this fixed easily with no extra work: https://blog.github.com/2018-05-01-github-pages-custom-domains-https/

I just need to follow the directions on the page. Then we need to add ssl to our form which is a different story but is now possible.

Done and done!
