Description

Modernizes the core base headers by converting outdated http:// references (e.g., pcre, perl, rfc, swan) to secure https:// endpoints.

Changes

Did you verify this link? (It does not work for me, relevant or not this is from outside CERN).

hey @pcanal , I have verified that the updated https URL actually 404s, so I have reverted that specific link inside README.md back to its original http cgi-bin routing endpoint.

The newly pushed commit reflects this fix. Thanks for catching that....

Did you also hand verify all the other URLs? (If we are updating them, we must make sure they are up to date).

See https://www.troll.no/qt/metaobjects.html which does not lead anywhere useful. To be accurate, the original is also broken. You may need to use the way back machine to get the original version and either find its 'new' home or link to the wayback machine.
