I worked around this (first python keystrokes, know nothing about youtube-dl) after line 436 in youtube_dl/extractor/common.py, function def _download_webpage,
if not url_or_request[0:4] == 'http':
url_or_request = 'https:' + url_or_request

I'm sure this is the wrong place to fix it.

Regards,

Thanks
