Use HTTPS for all archive.org URLs #97

Closed Mr0grog closed 2 years ago

Mr0grog commented 2 years ago

We used to use HTTP (unsecure) for all archive.org URLs because requesting HTTPS used to redirect to HTTP (making HTTPS kind of a waste). That's no longer the case, and using HTTPS is always a good idea (even if you aren't sending secure info, it helps make sure you are getting legitimate data from the server you expect). Thanks to @sundhaug92 for pointing this out.

Fixes #81.
