youtube videos are also accessible using https, whole URL is identical, but http changed to https. becuase I have plugins which redirects me to https versions of many sites, when I copy youtube URL to youtube-dl, i end with https enabled addres which isn't supported in youtube-dl.

It should not be hard to add "(https?://)?" regular expression patter to support this. Downloading isn't really need to be using https, but this will also be nice if possible.

Thanks

Which program version are you using and what type of URL are you talking about? The s in "https" is supported for YouTube in the latest release.

You are right. I do not know how but 2 days ago it was not working for some reason. But it of course works. Sorry for that.
