Description

Chirag looked at a week of BioViz.org Web logs and found that around 9% of visits to our "welcome galaxy user" IGB endpoint page are using the Safari browser.

For this task:

Please check the current release of the Galaxy code base. Find out: does the external viewers XML hit an "https" endpoint on Bioviz or does it hit an "http" endpoint.

If it is currently hitting an http endpoint on our site - yay! That's what we want, for now. If this is the case, please then modify the bioviz playbooks to STOP redirecting all http web traffic to https.

However, if you can think of a good and bullet-proof way to turn off redirection for JUST galaxy.html, do that instead. However, be aware that this type of thing is very hard to test, and it is also hard to avoid affecting other pages, due to the use of regular expressions in the redirection directive.
