[Bug 16632] Re: popcon should offer an option for submission via https

[Andrey Bondarenko]

Ubuntu 18.04.3 (Bionic) includes popularity-contents version 1.66ubuntu1
which uses HTTPS URL by default.

grep ^SUBMITURLS= /usr/share/popularity-contest/default.conf
SUBMITURLS="https://popcon.ubuntu.com/popcon-submit.cgi"

But it fails to submit data because of bug #1822672 in parsing HTTPS
URLs

  As I understand, popularity-contest statistics are submitted via http
  connections. What about an option or, even better, an automatic check
  for the availability of gnutls and using https connections instead?
