Fixed problem with logging over HTTPS

Fixes the Error: Protocol "https:" not supported. Expected "http:" problem when trying to write events to Seq over HTTPS.

Given the build failure, I tried to reproduce the problem on a clean machine. To mirror the build environment, I installed node ver. 4.2.2, then ran npm install -g npm which upgraded the npm version to 5.4.1. Then the npm install command resulted in following error:

It seems this problem also occurs during the build, but it is silenced. Then I ran the next build command npm test which gave me the exact error I can see in the build output:

Error: Cannot find module 'c:\[some path here]\node_modules\mocha\bin\mocha'

I think using the latest npm version with a quite old node version may be the problem here.

Thank you for the PR; I'll have a look at updating the build environment for this 👍

Merged, build is happy on Node 6.2.11. Thanks!
