support SSL image URLs

[kueda]

http://media.eol.org/content/2011/10/24/05/84335_580_360.jpg works, but https://media.eol.org/content/2011/10/24/05/84335_580_360.jpg does not. We use a lot of EOL images at iNaturalist and we're hoping to make the jump to enforced SSL use soon. EOL images are one of the only things that are going to give us mixed content warnings, or just not show for some browsers that are very strict about mixing encrypted and unencrypted content. Any chance you guys could support SSL for your image URLs?

Hang in there, @kueda. We are in mid hire-paperwork for our new sysadmin. This will be job one when he's in place. (I have copied this into the Tramea repository, but I should remember to close both tickets when this is done.)

Any update here? Chrome is on the verge of being more aggressive about warning users about non-encrypted connections, so I'd really like to get iNat complete encrypted soon, but I would hate to lose all the EOL photos we reference.

I'm sorry I failed to update you, @kueda! This turned out to be more complex than expected. We will support https in EOL v3, which we are hoping to stand up by the end of the year. In the meantime you may have a decision to make. We will get there as fast as we can; we are also facing the wrath of Chrome directly...

Hi @kueda, @jhammock asked me to prioritize this issue and I can tell you that now we have implemented SSL on our EOL content. You can refer to our links using https, like in you second example without receiving mixed content warning from our side. Please verify and let me know if any issues arise. Cheers.

I noticed some images work on HTTPS but not HTTP, throwing a "Error 503 Service Unavailable" for the HTTP versions. For example http://media.eol.org/content/2017/01/25/21/12350_580_360.jpg / https://media.eol.org/content/2017/01/25/21/12350_580_360.jpg as seen on http://www.eol.org/pages/747/overview . Looks like some user icons are also affected, like Valter's which is also shown on that page http://www.eol.org/users/10437

@pleary thank you for bringing that up, I made the necessary fix. Please verify. There shouldn't be any more but if you find more do let me know. Thanks.
