bioprotocols.org http vs https URLs

[photocyte]

Putting this issue here as seems as good a place as any!

Currently, http://bioprotocols.org , redirects to https://bioprotocols.github.io/labop/

But, https://bioprotocols.org doesn't work, i.e. it is a failed redirect.

Based on some checks of the hosting documentation by @jakebeal , it's not possible to do https forwarding with the current registrar/host. So, if people really want a https redirect from that domain, might be a minor project.

Note: This also affects

https://labop.io
vs
http://labop.io

On my machine, only the latter works.

At time of writing, neither http://bioprotocols.github.io nor https://bioprotocols.github.io do a redirect. Just gives a 404 not found.

I looked into this, and it is not necessarily a bug. We are hosting a project page for labop which is http://bioprotocols.github.io/labop, but we are not hosting an organization page. The org page would live at the base URL. We have a README.md that is serving that purpose at https://github.com/Bioprotocols, but I think we’d need a gh-pages site parallel to it to have a base URL site.

I fixed the redirect for http://bioprotocols.github.io/ and https://bioprotocols.github.io/. I'll leave this issue open because we still don't have https working for Bioprotocols.org.
