I am using FireFox on Linux and I want to redirect HTTP URLs in YouTube videos to HTTPS. YouTube’s videos are from
googlevideo.com
so I want to use HTTPS instead of HTTP:http://r8---sn-qxau5-btqs.googlevideo.com...
To:
https://r8---sn-qxau5-btqs.googlevideo.com...
(
r8---sn-qxau5-btqs
) may change with every video URL.I tried HTTPS Everywhere and made this rule:
<ruleset name="googlevideo"> <target host="*.googlevideo.com" /> <rule from="http://([^@:/][^/:@])\.googlevideo\.com/" to="https://$1.googlevideo.com"/> </ruleset>
But it doesn’t seem to work.
