+Cody changed it to scan for both http:// and https:// but the problem is a
+secure connection needs to be set up before http commands can be sent. One would
+also have to specify a port in the URL. Fortunately or unfortunately many more
+websites use https nowadays so this entry will not work as well as it used to.
+If one were to try and connect to `http://www.ioccc.org` with this entry they'll
+just get a 301 error. Perhaps someone can come up with a pipeline that will make
+this work with the change made.  Otherwise just enjoy it for what it was.

 Should the entry use `perror()`? Perhaps not but we're not sure of its purpose
 so it can stay for now with this note.
