calzoneman 6e416fea8a Add a hack to detect distrust of Let's Encrypt
Many older devices do not support the Let's Encrypt CA, for various
reasons.  This causes connection issues for sites using Let's Encrypt to
support HTTPS connections.  This commit adds a hack that can be enabled
with a switch in callbacks.js to try to detect when the user's browser
does not trust the certificate and permit the user to connect to an
insecure endpoint instead.

Unfortunately, the AJAX API does not allow to distinguish between *why*
a request fails, so the best we can do is detect that the HTTPS request
failed, try to make a request over plain HTTP, and if it works, assume
the HTTPS request failed due to a certificate error.  It's not 100%
foolproof since the HTTPS endpoint could just be down for some reason,
but it should work well enough in most cases.

Closes #602

About

CyTube is a web application providing media synchronization, chat, and more for an arbitrary number of channels. I began developing this as a hobby project, and when synchtube.com announced their closure, I began polishing it and readying it for the public.

I am hosting a CyTube server at http://cytu.be

The serverside is written in JavaScript and runs on Node.JS. It makes use of a MySQL database to store user registrations, cached media metadata, and data about each channel.

The clientside is written in JavaScript and makes use of Socket.IO and jQuery as well as the APIs for various media providers. The web interface uses Bootstrap for layout and styling.
