Use HTTPS not HTTP when communicating with api.bit.ly

[dmz006]

While setting up the bitly gem I noticed that the API URL is set to:
API_URL = 'http://api.bit.ly/'

However when reviewing api.bitly.com, in their best practices I see their example of a valid API call to shorten the link uses:
https://api-ssl.bitly.com/

Is there any plan on updating this gem to use the https link so api keys aren't transmitted in cleartext?

The SSL version is used in when connecting to the API v3:

Well, this may have been a long time ago, but this has now been fixed in 301aa7a. Noone should be using the v2 API anyway, but if they do, next time I get a release out, it will use the https URL.
