Alphachimpbot Task 4, CIA

This request is per discussion on Wikipedia:Bot requests. The CIA recently updated their site to force a secure connection (https) instead of (http). All Wikipedia links to the CIA's site using the old http format redirect to an fun error page. I'm proposing running AWB to replace instances of http with https on cia links. By my search, there are only a little over 100 pages on Wikipedia with the old version. An example of the bot in action (manually) can be found here. alphaChimp ^laudare 22:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Correction: By this search, there are more than 850 for the world factbook, one of the primary things that wikipedia is linking to on the CIA site. alphaChimp ^laudare 22:07, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to say thanks to alphachimp for his quick action to my original request in the Bot Request section. Have a good one :) Bsheppard 01:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
