Ran this command in qBittorrent repo directory:
grep -rnw . --exclude=\*.{svg,} -e "http:"Then checked all URLs if they support HTTPS now. If they did, I changed "http://" to "https://" in the URL.
Sometimes I was redirected to another page. For such cases I modified the entire URL.
Sometimes got 404. Checked Internet Archive and if there was a non-404 snapshot, I changed the URL to Web Archive version from the latest working snapshot.
I also tried googling the snapshot to check if there's a new version that's just not been redirected to. If there was, I changed the URL to a working page instead of the archive.
E.g.: URL: https://www.dyndns.com/developers/specs
Web Archive version: https://web.archive.org/web/20110716154636/https://www.dyndns.com/developers/specs
Googled and got: https://help.dyn.com/remote-access-api/
This archive on the other hand I just changed to another source (Wikipedia) as it contains the same info (and more) as the old URL.
