[OHM] Coming changes to OHM authentication

[Rob H Warren]

Hello, 

since the beginning OHM has been accepting unencrypted authentication with a kluge that occasionally would allow https traffic.

Next week, OHM will begin supporting HTTPS authentication with a proper SSL cert. By the end of July HTTP requests to openhistoricalmap.org will redirect to the HTTPS. Interested parties can follow the details here [1] as they unfold. This will require you to switch your requests to the https version of the website when using JOSM or another client.

Tile maps will continue to be available over HTTP and HTTPS for the foreseeable future. 

I've begun the process of aligning the out-of-date OHM production website with the ball-of-twine that production OSM / ID, OHM github, different time-slider demos (et al) have become. This will take some time and news will be posted here [2], thank you for your patience. 

And now back to our regularly scheduled program.
