Bureau of Meteorology https Enabler in Chrome with OffiDo

DESCRIPTION

Redirects Bureau of Meteorology URLs to their https server.

This simple extension redirects urls for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology website to their little-known https-enabled server at https://reg.bom.gov.au.

I wrote this after being hit too many times by the "https not supported" page that BoM serves when attempting to access bom.gov.au with https://bom.gov.au.

Neither this extension nor the Author are affiliated in any way with the Bureau of Meteorology in any way. This extension simply makes it easier to use their website in a modern browser that assumes that every site should be https.

Source code is available at https://github.com/73om/bomhttps/

Changelog 1.1: Changes which chrome permission is used to transform the URL from declarativeNetRequest to declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess, which means the permissions declaration no longer needs to say "Block content on any page" as that wasn't what it actually did and made it seem scary.
