[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Edit with Remote Control blocked in Safari (#2445)

[Tom Hughes]

Well the fundamental issue is that it's impossible to do unless the browser co-operates.

We can either load the remote control using https over port 8112 but then the browser will complain about the certificate that JOSM presents as it is not issued by an official certificate authority, or we can load using http over port 8111 but that will only work if the browser allows http loads to 127.0.0.1 from an https page.

Now we do in fact attempt to only use 8111 for Firefox and Chrome by the looks of it, and use 8112 for other browsers which don't exempt 127.0.0.1 from the mixed content checks, so I'm not entirely sure why you are seeing it load 8111 here.
