Transition to https and VStar

Hi all

Please see Sara's post about the recent transition to https URLs in conjunction with AAVSO Java applications, including VStar:

  https://www.aavso.org/important-announcement-about-java-web-start-apps

I made changes in the latest release to accommodate this, just as Sara did for other Java applications like Zapper and SunEntry.

The changes relate primarily to authentication (login) functionality with trivial changes to URLs elsewhere that used to begin with http but now begin with https.

If you have any problems when trying to use the Plug-in Manager or a plug-in that requires login such as the APASS or BSM observation source plug-ins or discrepant reporting, please let us know in the forum or a contact form (mine or Sara's).

Thanks.

David
