Now, nothing is dynamically downloaded from the internet at install time. Instead, on first use, a cache direcory is created (`~/.cache/mdn-http-observatory`) and these files downloaded: - Mozilla CA Bundle - HSTS preload list - TLD list When one of these files is not present, it is downloaded on the next invocation. When it is present on the filesystem it is used right away. "Refreshing" these resources can then simply be done by removing the cache directory and restarting the application. It can also be done by calling `npm run refreshCache` or via `npm run maintenance`. This enables packaging mdn-http-observatory for Linux distros. Additionaly, it makes the package a little easier to understand because there is no loading of resources at various points at install time.

Description
Now, nothing is dynamically downloaded from the internet at install
time. Instead, on first use, a cache direcory is created
(
~/.cache/mdn-http-observatory) and these files downloaded:When one of these files is not present, it is downloaded on the next
invocation. When it is present on the filesystem it is used right away.
"Refreshing" these resources can then simply be done by removing the
cache directory and restarting the application. It can also be done by
calling
npm run refreshCacheor vianpm run maintenance.This enables packaging mdn-http-observatory for Linux distros.
Addittionaly, it makes the package a little easier to understand because
there is no loading of resources at various points at install time.
Motivation
Make distro packaging possible.
