Remove the WEB macro in favor of HTTP

[wilzbach]

Small-scale follow-up to dlang/phobos#4411 and dlang/phobos#4432 that just deprecates WEB in favor of HTTP.

sed 's/\$(WEB/\$(HTTP/g' -i **/*.{asm,c,d,S}

Converting websites that support SSL to SSL will be a separate PR, s.t. DAutoTest can tell us whether there are any differences between the builds. For reasons and argumentation see #4411.

Thanks, feel free to close this & open your a new PR next time (I don't mind at all).

Done ;-)

Needs a rebase again.

There are also instances of boost links using $(LINK2 ...)

LINK2 is what we should be moving towards, but Andrei doesn't like it. WEB is, however, completely redundant, and getting rid of it is uncontroversial.

Yep. Finally got to rebasing this for the third time. Anyone around for a quick pull?

[Burgos]

It's red, though :thinkingface:.

Looks like a timeout.

So DUB failed here :/
Though I'm wondering why DUB doesn't retry the download (from the same server and/or the mirror)

Just waiting on that doc test to report no changes :) LGTM otherwise.

Huh, what is that verbatim thing? It doesn't look like anything that is used in the actual docs, so I will pull. Only differences I'm seeing is that WEB has changed to HTTP.

[wilzbach]

Huh, what is that verbatim thing?

It dumps the generated Ddoc pages without applying any macros. Sometimes it's useful/faster to compare ddoc build diff (though not that often).
However, I don't know either why it's only displayed for 8 pages - maybe we don't generate .verbatim files for all modules?

that's what confused me also!

Great, thanks! BTW perhaps we should switch to HTTPS for important links, e.g. license - $(HTTPS boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt, Boost License 1.0) would be the canonical form. They still redirect to HTTP but it's on their side. cc @CyberShadow
