** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ The video scope uses http instead of https, allowing user queries to be
+ potentially intercepted.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ Use the video lens after the fix, check network traffic so that https is
+ used instead of http.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ Low, the servers answers identically to https/SSL requests.

  What happened: SERVER = "http://videosearch.ubuntu.com/v0"; string in
  unity-scope-video-remote does not use SSL.
  
  What was expected: SERVER = "https://videosearch.ubuntu.com/v0"; was the
  actual string and SSL was configured on the videosearch.ubuntu.com
  server.
  
- 
  Without SSL this scope would allow users queries to be intercepted and
  have malicious results returned if MitM took place.
