Django-Rest Swagger Broken on Test Site

[jkmarx]

Specific code commit: 7969dc1
Version of the web browser and OS: 49.0.1, 10.11.6 El Capitan
Environment where the error occurred (Vagrant VM and site conf mode or AWS instance): https://test.stemcellcommons.org/#/

Steps to reproduce

Please list all the actions and the input data used:

1. Go to https://test.stemcellcommons.org/docs/

Observed behavior

Console Errors:
shred.bundle.js:2609 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://test.stemcellcommons.org/docs/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://test.stemcellcommons.org/docs/api-docs/'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

Expected behavior

Swagger to work correctly and no errors.

Need to configure the /docs/api-docs/ URL access via HTTPS.

We can't upgrade django swagger to 2.0.5 until django rest is updated to 3.5.1. Django Rest can't be updated until we upgrade Django to 1.8.

What is the root cause for this problem? Why is it necessary to upgrade django-rest-swagger to v2.0.5 to fix it?
