#10033: Make it easy for users to add a hostname to the ruleset

----------------------------------+-------------------------------
There are some hostnames which I always want to access using HTTPS and
they're not part of the HTTPS-E ruleset. I'd like the ability to *easily*
add them. I'm not suggesting a complete GUI for editing all aspects of
rulesets. If it was merely possible to rewrite
"http://www.some.host.com/*"; to "https://www.some.host.com/*"; I think that
would cover at least 90% of real-world scenarios (certainly all of mine).
The current process for doing this seems to be intended for developers,
rather than users. https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/rulesets tells me
I need to:
1) Learn the HTTPS-E XML format
2) Know JavaScript regular expressions
or alternatively
1) Install Python
2) Install git and checkout the HTTPS-E repository
3) Find the make-trivial-rule Python script there
In addition to that, I need to find where this ruleset file is actually
stored. The page mentions it for Firefox, but not for Chrome.
I could do all that, but it seems easier to just type "https://";, so I
don't bother. If HTTPS-E could *easily* do this it would be significantly
more useful.
