This is the only sensible solution for now, I think.  Just make the
epiphany frontend avoid sending clues for secure urls.

Limiting networked backends to only working with public or networked
data will really limit the whiz-bang results that dashboard can
produce.  I think just making a "turn off networked backends" option is
the way to go.
