Bug#601603: clive: Please add support for URLs starting with https

[Kai Wasserbäch]

Package: clive
Version: 2.2.13-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear clive maintainers,
currently calling
$ clive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<VIDEO-ID>
leads to an error, as clive prefixes the URL with "http://". Please
allow "https" URLs too (or alternatively: replace any https with http at
the beginning of URLs passed to clive).

Thank you in advance for your time and efforts.

Kind regards,
Kai Wasserbäch
