Hi,

I have just switched languagetool.org to use SSL automatically. That is, 
if you access http://languagetool.org, you will be redirected to 
https://languagetool.org. The same is true for www.languagetool.org.

The only paths that can still be accessed via HTTP are these:

http://languagetool.org/languagetool.update.xml
http://languagetool.org/download

languagetool.update.xml is used by LibreOffice/OpenOffice to check for 
extension updates, and I'm not sure if a redirect to SSL might confuse 
it.

The reason for this change is that I'd like to encourage people to 
actually use the form on the homepage not just for testing, but also for 
real checks. Please let me know if there are any problems.

If you're interested in the technical details, this is the Apache 
configuration:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/download$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/download/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/languagetool\.update\.xml
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]

Regards
  Daniel
