All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part VIII

[LulzKiller]

Aargh - the freebie wiki is giving "Backend fetch failed" errors.

And I was in the middle of a big project that I'm sure would go much faster if I had any idea how to write a bot. (I believe I've mentioned that I'm a good documenter, but as a programmer ... I'm a good documenter. What I'm doing right now, in edlin syntax, is "shttp://www.daz3dhttp://www.daz3dg" on over 500 pages - then I'll be checking other often-cited sites and finding out whether I can switch their links from http to https.)

EDIT: And within five seconds of me posting this, the errors went away.

RE-EDIT: I'm down to http://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/w ... LinkSearch (from 1137, but now I'm down to the ones-and-twos on a page). Time to call it a night.

RE-RE-EDIT: Once this string is done, I can do shttp://www.renderosity.com/http://www ... ity.com/g ... and http://poserdazfreebies.miraheze.org/w ... LinkSearch. I really need to figure out how to write a bot.

i might be entirely getting this wrong but couldn't you just do a general (http to http: per regex?
