only serve over HTTPS

[chadwhitacre]

Reticketing from gratipay/inside.gratipay.com#554 (video link):

Right now the Cobudget beta is only served on HTTP. I propose that it only be available on HTTPS! :-)

I haven't used it, but Let's Encrypt seems like it could be a good option?

Let’s Encrypt is a new Certificate Authority: It’s free, automated, and open.

It looks like there's a rails plugin that works on heroku: https://github.com/lgromanowski/letsencrypt-plugin

We just need to move beta.cobudget.co to a hosting provider that supports https on a custom domain. Right now it’s on github pages which does not do this.

You could also consider putting CloudFlare in front of it. They've got a free plan.

@gardner

can you get this done within the next 36 hours?

@gardner nvm, just saw your slack msg :)

[gardner]

To mitigate the attacts that folks are worried about we would need CloudFlare full encryption which is not free. I feel their half encryption is disingenuous.
