Enable verifyLinks to follow https links
----------------------------------------

         Key: WT-388
         URL: http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-388
     Project: WebTest
        Type: New Feature

 Environment: N/A
    Reporter: David Cumberland


Currently, the VerifyLinks step (com.canoo.webtest.steps.verify.VerifyLinks) limits itself to only follow links with a protocol of http.  The logic behind this makes sense.  However, there are many cases where the link we wish to test are "https".  It seems reasonable to allow VerifyLinks to follow both http and https protocols.

I believe the code change could be very simple.  The first check in VerifyLinks.processLink() should check for both http or https.  There may be other checks needed that I've missed and the documentation will need to be updated.
