 Replying to [comment:2 irl]:
 > For local testing environments you need HTTPS anyway or half the browser
 features are disabled and none of your JavaScript runs.

 Hmm, I usually don't have my local testing instance on HTTPS. But I also
 don't rely much on JavaScript running or not.

 > Wherever we are using absolute links, we can set these to
 `https://metrics.torproject.org/`.

 Without looking at the code right now, I think that we might have to
 extend that to `https://metrics.torproject.org/exonerator.html`. But I'm
 not sure.

 > Ideally though most of our links would be relative links.

 True, in theory. Not sure if there are any practical reasons against doing
 that.

 > Usually web applications have a "base URL" setting that can be
 overridden. Can we set this as a property with the default being
 `https://metrics.torproject.org/`?

 Sounds fine to me!

 Not grabbing just yet. If this is still owned by metrics-team in a couple
 of days I might grab it.
