Prevent spam from being sent through our event request form about abtech.org HOT 4 CLOSED

Quickest solution @timparenti has recommended is just adding shib login to that page. Would that work? I could probably do that this week.

Sticking /request behind a Shibboleth login would be a quick solution to the spam problem, but @tedgarb pointed out there may be issues with that given how the site is currently proxied.

This problem does resurface the need to address ABTech/tracker#405, which would bring the form into Tracker (which can also be authenticated) and eliminate the need for the current complexity on the website.

Yes, long-term it should be submitted directly to tracker, but for the moment we could add this page to shib in Apache.

This will be fixed on the tracker end. Current plan is to reject events that have invalid dates (i.e. 1973 keeps showing up).
