New release

[HEdingfield]

Would love an update on 0.2.8!

[rdegges]

Hey! I was just looking to do this, but.... Looks like the build isn't passing :( https://travis-ci.org/rdegges/django-sslify/jobs/329343417

[rdegges]

If you wanna send a PR for some fixes (or if you're interested in maintaining), I'd be happy to share the creds! I'm currently doing a lot of non-Django related work and haven't been doing a good job keeping on top of this :(

Hi! We are using django-sslify as well, we would be glad to help, fixing the travis config as a first step. What do you prefer, adding me as maintainer or me creating a PR for the travis config?

[rdegges]

I'm adding you as a maintainer! Any help would be fantastic and appreciated =D

[manelclos]

Travis configuration is now fixed. There is a tox config as well to test locally. Django versions supported are 1.8 to 2.0. Travis is passing now.

[HEdingfield]

I'm curious as to why support from Django 1.8 and beyond is necessary, given this? Wondering because I was planning to just use SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True now and phase out django-sslify entirely.

[manelclos]

You might be using django-sslify already, migrating to 1.8 or beyond should not break the project. This happens in some of my projects, I'm just lazy to do the change.
Also, it has some advanced features like disabling SSL for some URLs: https://github.com/rdegges/django-sslify#disabling-sslify

[HEdingfield]

Ah, I see, thanks. FYI, I think the feature you mentioned is also available in Django now via SECURE_REDIRECT_EXEMPT.

[manelclos]

yeah, nice to know. Then only the safe upgrade path point is valid :)

[HEdingfield]

After investigating this more, I determined that django-sslify still does something that SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT apparently doesn't: it actually forces the URL in the browser to change to https://, which is really useful. I was running into problems after phasing out django-sslify and relying solely on the SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT setting because I'd get 403 errors when trying to access things, and would have to manually change the URL to https://. In light of this, I'm going to start using this package again!

We may want to update the docs here to reflect this: https://github.com/rdegges/django-sslify#using-django-18-or-later

That said, do we have an ETA on the 0.2.8 release? haha
