Change Ask suggest URLs to HTTPS

Project Member Reported by emilyschechter@chromium.org, Jul 31

Issue description

I confirmed that Ask is OK with changing these URLs to HTTPS (from https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/search_engines/prepopulated_engines.json)

 "ask": {
      "name": "Ask",
      "keyword": "ask.com",
      "favicon_url": "http://sp.ask.com/sh/i/a16/favicon/favicon.ico",
      "search_url": "http://www.ask.com/web?q={searchTerms}",
      "suggest_url": "http://ss.ask.com/query?q={searchTerms}&li=ff",
      "type": "SEARCH_ENGINE_ASK",
      "id": 4
    },

    "ask_br": {
      "name": "Ask Brasil",
      "keyword": "br.ask.com",
      "favicon_url": "http://sp.br.ask.com/sh/i/a14/favicon/favicon.ico",
      "search_url": "http://br.ask.com/web?q={searchTerms}",
      "type": "SEARCH_ENGINE_ASK",
      "id": 4
    },

    "ask_uk": {
      "name": "Ask Jeeves",
      "keyword": "uk.ask.com",
      "favicon_url": "http://sp.uk.ask.com/sh/i/a16/favicon/favicon.ico",
      "search_url": "http://uk.ask.com/web?q={searchTerms}",
      "suggest_url": "http://ss.uk.ask.com/query?q={searchTerms}&li=ff",
      "type": "SEARCH_ENGINE_ASK",

It appears that https://ss.ask.com/ and https://ss.uk.ask.com are still serving certificates for *.sse-iacapps.com, so I can make a CL but wait to land it until the certificates are fixed.

Ask Brasil does not have a suggest service, and the engines list appears to already have the search and favicon URLs as HTTPS.

(Setting this as blocking a broader bug to audit/update the list.)
