Use https instead of http
Hello,
While I was browsing VLC website ( https://www.videolan.org/vlc ) i noticed thousands of warnings about mixed content (loading http resources on a https website), so i decided to fix it.
Example warning page in chromium-based browser:
- I didnt update w3.org schemes, even though they work with https.
- I found some 404 websites (both on http and https), so i didnt update broken links (might be a good idea to create linkchecker on a CI/CD).
- I tested ~100 random links (unique domains) to see if anything breaks and so far so good. In 2022 most websites have automatic promotion to SSL version of a website, so it was okay, but still a performance hit.
- Replaced
//
tohttps://
- Didnt touch
doc/
because of encoding issues (at least in german translation) - im too old to fight withISO-8859
again ;)
Let me know if you are interested in more contributions from me - frontend dev with performance experience. Im using VLC for so long i thought it would be nice to donate some time for the good cause.
