Selfcheck needs to be run with https

[Ben Shum]

Evergreen master

We had reports of problems using selfcheck in the field: hostname/eg/circ/selfcheck/main

It seems the problem is that if the browser uses http, it doesn't allow the browser to stay logged in and authenticated leading to a continuous problem using the selfcheck each time it tried to lookup a new user's barcode, it would ask for re-authentication.

Changing it to HTTPS worked fine in Chrome, but for some reason Firefox kept trying to go back to HTTP.

senator suggests in IRC that we may want to force the default apache config to use HTTPS for all selfcheck related traffic.

To note, Firefox is fine. Just had bad cached results screwing up http/https on my test machine.

[Michael Peters (mrpeters)]

Fixed.

[Pasi Kallinen (paxed)]

mrpeters' fix doesn't apply cleanly to master anymore, but the change itself is pretty trivial. (Although I would've probably put the rewrites inside LocationMatch)

[Dan Wells (dbw2)]

Targeting to 2.5.2, since this probably won't get much attention otherwise.

I published this to the working repository, because managing GitHub alongside that is making things much more cumbersome:

I was able to go through a test installation using Fedora 19, and Apache 2.4 using this branch. The committed fix does re-direct the selfcheck page to HTTPS, as I thought it would.

[Dan Scott (denials)]

Tested successfully again on Fedora 20 / Apache 2.4 with Elliot's branch. I rewrote the commit message to credit Michael Peters for the initial work and to make the commit message conform to the normal summary / description standards. Many thanks Elliot! Applied to master and 2.5.

[Elliot Voris (elliotfriend)]

Thanks, Dan! I'm happy to help, however I can. I'll keep in mind the changes you made to that commit message next time.
