   It seems like this can't be fixed in the code, it's a heroku issue:

   Subdomain redirection will cause a browser error when the root domain is requested over SSL (i.e. https://example.com).
   

   https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/apex-domains
   Also, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6701549/heroku-ssl-on-root-domain

   So either, we

   1. Purchase an SSL certificate (which is what the stackoverflow post does)
   2. Redirect all traffic to www.pebblecode.com

   I might do the 2nd (seeing as we don't use https for anything on the site), if no one objects.

   Have updated DNS with:

   ALIAS   www.pebblecode.com   60     pebblecode.herokuapp.com
   

   instead of the previous redirect to pebblecode.com. Will wait for this to propagate, before making pebblecode.com redirect to www.pebblecode.com.

   That didn't seem to work. Not sure if it's a DNS or heroku issue - have posted on stackoverflow about it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17565542/how-do-i-redirect-all-https-traffic-to-http-in-sinatra-on-heroku

   I have noticed that a few other sites have the same issue:
