HTTPS Support

[TheOneHyer]

Before voicing my feature request, I'd like to thank you for this amazing program. I administer a system that does not allow HTTP for security reasons. I'd like to install borg for my users, but our firewall prevents borg from working as it only allows HTTPS connections. Could ok-borg obtain an SSL cert to provide answers via a HTTPS connection?

[TheOneHyer]

I just read a previous issue about server hosting costs. An SSL cert would only add to that. I may just host the now available server code internally as I don't want to impose a financial burden on you.

Let's encrypt makes it free and rather easy, so it would only cost time to add the feature.

@TheOneHyer Thank you for your kind words.

Borg is not broken because of your network does not allow HTTP, it's down because I didn't have the time to maintain it. Server cost is just one aspect, developer time is orders of magnitude more expensive.

I plan to resurrect Borg hosted on github.com/1backend/1backend
The ETA for this is a couple of months (have to add Elasticsearch support).

[TheOneHyer]

@crufter Thanks for the fast response. I appreciate the time and monetary costs maintaining an open-source service incurs. While I know nothing of Elasticsearch, I'd be willing to help bug test things from a client perspective. Good luck!

@TheOneHyer Thank you, sir! You are a really pleasant person to chat to. Will definitely notify you once it's available.
