Unable to use "https://" for RSS URL Reply to topic

I came across an issue trying to add a RSS Feed, it seems that the Module does not like "https://" URL's.

After digging into index.inc in modules\Syndicated_News\admin
at Line 179 and Line 180:
if (!ereg('http://', $url)) {
$url = 'http://'.$url;

I changed this to:
if (!ereg('http://|https://', $url)) {
$url = 'http://|https://'.$url;

Also had to make this change at Line 266 and Line 267

URL's with "https://" News Feeds are now being accepted
