Great! Shouldn't we have a 'make syntax-check' rule for this? There
are few reasons for a http:// or ftp:// URL these days, and most likely
the main reason they are used is because we forgot to change them to
https://. Exceptions can be handled like other syntax-check false
positives, I suppose. Some experimentation is needed to find out if
there are some well-known non-https URLS that shouldn't be modified.
