xkcd.com changed to using HTTPS some time ago; the change causes XkcdViewer to fail with "Data returned from website didn't match expected format" as the 301 redirect is attempted to be parsed as JSON, which obviously fails. While this isn't a complete fix, it should hopefully fix the app enough for it to work again. Fixes tcoxon#70.

When I say this isn't a complete fix, I mean that really, the app should be following redirects instead of trying to parse the empty redirect response as JSON. That's for someone to do who actually has the correct build environment, though! |

(Please note that I have not been able to test this as I do not have the correct build environment. I believe that my changes are correct, however!)
