---+ MPU web servers with HTTP text entry boxes

As of September 2017 the MPU's affected web servers are in three categories:

   $ *ordershost* : This will be going away with the old inventory system. The Tartarus equivalent is https only.
   $ *The LCFG slaves* : There are currently 8 of these. Stephen has been looking at making LCFG work over https:
      * In normal use, switching the client to https just works.
      * Installs don't work, because they use LCFG servers called lcfg and lcfghost, which aren't in the server's certificate. To fix this we need subject alternate name support in lcfg-x509 - see Bug:1010.
      * During the install process some scripts call rdxprof, but rdxprof doesn't have a default URL to fetch. It would be better if, when not given a specific URL to fetch, it was able to fall back to the contents of client.url.
   $ *The computing.help hosts* : There are currently 5 of these. (Only one of these is in direct user service, and this is the only affected user-facing web server run by the MPU.) At present they're designed to be used mainly via http. The problem is the "Search" box. Alastair will look at this problem.
