I'm brand new to the IPFS concept, this looks really cool! I was surprised to see that the page served via IPFS supports HTTPS, do you happen to know how the secret key is securely shared among nodes in the decentralized environment?

The HTTPS is served by the proxy, it has nothing to do with IPFS.

The https version is served thru a proxy. This is the way you can get your status page visible to the HTTP world. The gotcha is that anyone on the IPFS network could have a copy of your page and serve them in your behalf.

So anyone with an IPFS client will have a robust way to view your status page. If people want to view it via HTTPS, they hit ipfs.io, which is an IPFS/HTTP gateway. While it's possible for other people to run gateways, I believe ipfs.io is the main one. It could theoretically be a bottleneck.
