Support both HTTP and HTTPS URLs in http_server.pl

[ebardsley]

This fixes 4 regular expressions to permit either HTTP or HTTPS.

This is useful in the case that MH is being accessed from behind a proxy, such as apache or nginx, that is terminating HTTPS for the application.

Hello fellow developers,

is there somebody who has a setup that allows testing this fix? If you have please verify this pull request so that we can merge it into master.

I'm not running MisterHouse behind a proxy so I cannot test it myself.

Thanks,
Lieven.

If anyone would like to test this, here's the relevant part of my nginx
configuration, with the bold parts needing to be changed. (mh is on port
8080.) A self-signed cert should work fine for testing.

server {
listen 443 default ssl;
server_name my.host.name http://my.host.name;
ssl_certificate* /path/to/hostname-2015.chained.crt_;
ssl_certificate_key */path/to/hostname-2015.key_;

ssl_protocols TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers  HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers  on;

add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=604800;

location / {
  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
  proxy_redirect https://$host:8080/ /;
  proxy_redirect http://$host:8080/ /;
  proxy_set_header Host $host;
  proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
  proxy_connect_timeout 1;
  proxy_send_timeout 30;
  proxy_read_timeout 30;
}

}

@ebardsley just as a small update: I have referenced your pull request in a mail to the MisterHouse mailing list.

[ebardsley]

@hollie It's been a month, and that thread seems unlikely to result in comprehensive unit test coverage in the near term. What would you like to do with these mostly-trivial regex changes?

Hey Ed,

you're right, I'll merge them in.

Thanks for the contribution and the reminder.

Kind regards,
Lieven.
