Coverage documentation links to insecure urls

Summary

https://github.com/bbc/bbc-a11y/blob/master/guides/coverage.md links to http pages when should be https.

Expected Behaviour

I want a BBC website page that shows this coverage information with links to guidelines that work across most browsers.

Current Behaviour

https://github.com/bbc/bbc-a11y/blob/master/guides/coverage.md links to non secure urls for each guideline, the bbc website fails to load due to a javascript issue with appcache over non HTTPS

No content is loaded.

Possible Solution

The BBC should enforce HTTPS redirects and provide a public BBC website web page for this coverage documentation.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. load https://github.com/bbc/bbc-a11y/blob/master/guides/coverage.md in a browser, firefox or chrome
  2. click any link e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/futuremedia/accessibility/mobile/principles
  3. See error:
[Deprecation] Application Cache is restricted to secure contexts. Please consider migrating your application to HTTPS, and eventually shifting over to Service Workers. See https://goo.gl/rStTGz for more details.

Context & Motivation

It's a very useful document and should be promoted as general practice when considering user interface testing.

Your Environment

It works on IE11 and on Edge.
It doesn't work on latest firefox and chrome, I haven't tried close to most common environments as yet but Win 7 FF and Chrome failed and Win 10 too.
Local mac testing both FF and Chrome fail.
Cloud testing on Mac high sierra with FF/chrome was the same, safari 11.1 apparently ok!
