The github plugin translates github urls to the codeload subdomain.
The problem is very recently "http" support was disabled on the
codeload subdomain and so any github urls being rewritten to codeload
will now fail if it is http.

i.e.
http://codeload.github.com/liftoff-sr/pretty_footprints/zip/master will fail
https://codeload.github.com/liftoff-sr/pretty_footprints/zip/master

Will work.

If one uses the original http release url like
http://github.com/KiCad/Varistors.pretty/archive/4.0.0.zip

it will work via the redirects on their base domain



People have been complaining alot on IRC about broken github
libraries, this explains why.
