At this moment topcoder is my only source of revenue. Things like how, even if you manually use https, it tends to redirect you to a version with no https in some links, really bother and worry me.
Today I thought of Firefox's HTTPS Everywhere plugin (Also for Chrome). And tried to look how to make it do its magic on TopCoder.com and its subdomains. Surprise! it works:
<ruleset name="TopCoder">
<target host="topcoder.com" />
<target host="*.topcoder.com" />
<!-- https://forums.topcoder.com does not exist, they should remove that link...-->
<rule from="^https?://forums\.topcoder\.com/" to="https://apps.topcoder.com/forums/"/>
<!-- Will the earth still spin if there were no regular expressions? -->
<rule from="^http://([^.]+\.)?topcoder\.com/" to="https://$1topcoder.com/"/>
</ruleset>
For info about how to install it, take a look at this guide: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/rulesets.
Update I knew it was way too easy, there were bugs with the forums. subdomain. This new version should fix it.
