Perhaps a script like that could be used for http:// vs https://

Not sure about `--no-check-certificate` if the goal is to move to
"proper HTTPS". Perhaps we can try first without it and if that fails,
print a warning and try with `--no-check-certificate` etc.
To be honest my script even blocked HTTPS->HTTP redirections, so I opt for maximum security.


Cheers,

Also I opt for freezing the discussion about eventual future runs of the script until everything from the first run[1] has been applied.
