[amsat-bb] Re: Satellites and IT challenges

[David Johnson]

Hi

We chose to use https on the funcube warehouse to protect login
registration info. It turns out that the certificate provider we use does
not fully honour the protocol and does not send the organisation 'O' code.

We are aware of the problem and are going to revert back to http and remove
login registration requirement.

This will also allow the map to work on all browsers.

We will still require that users of the dashboard enter their site info.
Email validation will still take place.
