[HTTPS-E Rulesets] Minor fixes - Mobygames, Scientific American

To whom it may concern:

MobyGames is now using the domain pics.mobygames.com for some images.
The server generates https links to said domain on https pages. https
requests to the pics domain time out, but the images work when
rewritten to www.
Also, on pages for specific game reviews (e.g.
https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/microsoft-flight/reviews/reviewerId,25155/
), there are broken URLs that begin
https://www.mobygames.com/http://pics.mobygames.com/ ; these may or
may not be specific to the https version of the site. These should
also be rewritten to www.

Regarding Scientific American, I previously reported a problem with
the image https://www.scientificamerican.com/media/cover/current.jpg ;
the fix originally implemented was an exclusion and a downgrade.
I have now found a better fix: there is an equivalent copy of the
image at https://www.scientificamerican.com/media/cover/current.cfm
which works, so the offending image should be rewritten there instead.

As usual, sorry I didn't find these before writing my last batch of
emails ... Thank you for your time and help.

C. Liu
