Dear all,

in src/misc/update.c, would it make sense to change the URLS in

#ifndef NDEBUG
# define UPDATE_VLC_STATUS_URL 
"http://update-test.videolan.org/vlc/status-win-x86"
#else
# define UPDATE_VLC_STATUS_URL "http://update.videolan.org/vlc/status" 
UPDATE_OS_SUFFIX
#endif

to have https URLs? (I did check that the https URL actually works)

Also, in those status files (not sure how they are generated), there is 
a http URL, not a https URL for the release. Could these also be changed 
to https? (I have also checked that those URLs work if changed to https)

Thanks,

Christian
