HTTPS... ?

Hi Gary,

It looks like pidgin.im doesn't have the HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security)
headers when serving over HTTP, so that anyone who hasn't gone to the HTTPS
site before won't get redirected.

That said, it's not much of a big deal since most of the website, other
than the developer.pidgin.im site has any secure information, so I'd see
this as a fairly low priority.

Cheers,
Eion
