Description

Since #498 we broke staging.flaredown.com because the staging app uses free dynos and therefore is unable to issue Let's Encrypt certs for custom domains, and so cert validation fails.

In the meantime,

  1. Use paid dynos in staging (maybe r4g can make this happen).
  2. Use the https://flaredown-staging.webapp.herokuapp.com domain for staging. Additionally we could do a redirect at the registrar for staging.flaredown.com. @lmerriam would have to set that up I think.
  3. Stop forcing TLS in staging, apply #498 only to production.

@compwron suggests a preference for 2 and possibly 1 in the future.

This issue is just a marker in case anyone wonders what happened to staging.flaredown.com.
