StackOverflow: make links to answers and user profiles use https

[abenkovskii]

• All Q&A sites in the stack exchange network support https
• Requests to their the http counterparts return 301 "Moved Permanently" redirecting browsers to the https versions
• The https versions of all this sites except meta.stackexchange.com serve a strict-transport-security: max-age=15552000 header (180 days if I'm not mistaken)
• https://meta.stackexchange.com serves a strict-transport-security: max-age=86400 header (1 day if I'm not mistaken)
• A couple of months ago stack exchange performed an automatic search and replace to change all links internal to the stack exchange network from http to https. Example: https://meta.stackexchange.com/revisions/151606/5

In my opinion this is enough ground to change links to the stack exchange Q&A sites in the instant answers from http to https

I can't seam to find the code responsible for generating the url used in the title and in the "More at Stack Overflow" link. Is this code not on github?

@abenkovskii Hey! Sorry, this code is managed internally and is in bad need of an update. I will pass your comments onto the team!
