support for https in is_url()

[Moses Moore]

MOC will recognize filenames starting with "http://" and "ftp://" as URLs, and use libcurl.
But it will not recognize filenames starting with "https://"

Just need to add another condition in the "is_url(const char *str)" function in files.c and recompile.

Thank you for the suggestion. This is best dealt with upstream. Have you contacted upstream? https://github.com/jonsafari/mocp

Author disabled the "issues" feature so there's no means for making a bug report. Guess I'll clone the repo, fork it to my own github, write the patch and then submit a pull request. If the pull is accepted, do I return here to ask for a version bump in this package?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thank you so much for your work. Here's me hoping it will be merged soon.

That was submitted four years ago, and the original author hasn't made an update in six years. How can I submit a patch to be included in building the the Debian or Ubuntu .deb package? I'm pretty sure changes from the upstream source are allowed.
