Always use HTTPS to communicate with OSM

Example query http://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/442577309 .

Guessing here (given that the issue has hit a couple of other things this morning) - maybe this is related to the recent change of the OSM API to redirect from http to https?

That link is working for me. What browser are you using?

It was (about 2 minutes ago) Firefox or Chrome on Windows 7, but it's now working again. I thought initially that it was https:// working and http:// not, but no, both http and https are working for me now. Put it down to network issues at this end I guess?

I think it might have been a broken redirect, so I think I'm going to reopen this and repurpose it to force all queries to OSM to use https:// instead of //, which matches whatever the page uses (in your case HTTP that would get redirected by OSM to HTTPS).
