 There must have been a recent change on wordpress.com that is forcing
 HTTPS for certain URLs. A number of our external-http tests that use
 wordpress.com assets are failing, because the initial requests are getting
 301ed to https URLs. It appears that swapping out for the canonical https
 addresses should fix the problem, and keeps the logic of the tests intact.
