 After moving Onionoo to a host that provides HTTPS, or rather a host that
 enforces HTTPS by redirecting HTTP requests to HTTPS, Atlas has a problem:
 it doesn't handle HTTP 302 redirects correctly.  It simply says "Backend
 error!"  The problem goes away with HTTPS Everywhere enabled, because then
 the client rewrites the HTTP link to HTTPS.  But without HTTPS Everywhere,
 the server sends a 302 and the client gets confused.

 An easy fix is to replace the three HTTP URLs in Atlas' sources with HTTPS
 URLs.  That's probably a good idea, regardless of the stated issue.
