You're welcome, Zack  :-)  I guess there must have been a reason to do 
stripHTTP, that I just don't know... So far, I only saw one side effect 
of entering uppercase "HTTPS" in the "Repository Viewer URL" field. When 
I entered the URL, a text appeared next to "Test URL:", saying:

   
"http://HTTPS://github.com/SuperElastix/SuperElastix/blob/REVISION/DIRECTORYNAME/FILENAME"

That doesn't look good: "http://HTTPS://github.com/...". But does it do 
any harm, if it's just the "Test URL"?

By the way, on the first Settings tab page ("Information"), the "Home 
URL" is also stripped. I don't know whether this is either buggy or 
useful.


Kind regards, Niels
