http rather than https

In the URL that GSA SER sends to Google I have found that the protocol was HTTP not HTTPS. However, today, I think that all the clients send their request to the https version of google not the http version of google. There is a reason for that?

For instance:

    We got a "complain" that http would trigger google to ban the IP/proxy more often. Any modern browser would use https anyway due to the http-header-updates received.

    So it seems logical to me as well to change it https in order to simulate browser behavior better.
