flickr: Use SSL
Last modified: 2014-05-27 11:48:22 UTC
Flickr introduced new SSL endpoints for their API [1] and their OAuth documentation [2] has been updated to use the new endpoints. It makes obvious sense to use these. Since they are going to become SSL-only from 27th June, we should switch as soon as possible and back port to relevant branches.

SSL-only from 27th June: http://code.flickr.net/2014/04/30/flickr-api-going-ssl-only-on-june-27th-2014/
Created attachment 277282 [details] [review] flickr: Use SSL
My understanding is that the user's password always travelled over SSL because the login UI was encrypted.
Review of attachment 277282 [details] [review]: Committed to master, gnome-3-12 and gnome-3-10.
