The purpose of this edit is to provide increased privacy and security for users by having the [[:Module:Find sources/links/jstor|Module:Find sources/links/jstor]] template generate an HTTPS link to JSTOR instead of the current HTTP link. The JSTOR search URL appears to [https://www.jstor.org/action/doBasicSearch?Query=%22Albert+Einstein%22&acc=on&wc=on support HTTPS]. In [[:Module:Find sources/links/jstor|Module:Find sources/links/jstor]], please change <code><nowiki>http://www.jstor.org/</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>https://www.jstor.org/</nowiki></code> instead. --[[User:Elegie|Elegie]] ([[User talk:Elegie|talk]]) 05:53, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

== Update Google Images to use new-style URL and forced HTTPS ==
 
{{edit template protected|Module:Find sources/links/google free images}}
 
I switched the Google Image search format string to a newer format at [[Module:Find sources/links/google free images/sandbox]], and was hoping for it to be applied to [[Module:Find sources/links/google free images]].
 
The current template uses the old-style Google image search URL format, with <code>google.com/image?tbm=isch</code> instead of <code>google.com/search?tbm=isch</code>. Currently the old format redirects to the new format, but I think it would be better to just use the new format to avoid any broken links in the future. Also, the [[Wikipedia:External_links#Specifying_protocols|protocol-relative URL scheme is now obsolete]] so I changed it to use <code>https://</code> instead. If this is applied and works out I might make some similar changes to the other Google URLs. Thanks, [[User:Habst|Habst]] ([[User talk:Habst|talk]]) 15:04, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
