An easy way to see it ... take one of those URLs and load it into your browser. You will probably find that the audio starts playing - but if you look at the browser you might see that a padlock has appeared beside the URL to show that it is now HTTPS not HTTP. The usual way that this happens is that the remote site issues a "redirect" (HTTP 301 or 302) to tell the browser that the content is somewhere else. The browser then goes there instead. To see it in action, turn on "Developer" mode (or some similar name) in your browser and watch the "Network" tab.
