Research direction

Open the listed files: docs/apps/builder-codes/app-developers.mdx, docs/base-account/basenames/basenames-faq.mdx, docs/base-account/more/troubleshooting/usage-details/wallet-library-support.mdx, and docs/terms-of-service.mdx. Review each reported non-local HTTP link and update it to the stated HTTPS or canonical URL, while leaving localhost, 127.0.0.1, and SVG namespace URLs unchanged; verify no listed insecure links remain.

Description

[docs] Replace insecure HTTP links with HTTPS in core documentation

Several non-local documentation links still use http:// even though HTTPS should be preferred where supported. These are not local development URLs or SVG namespace declarations.

Checked against upstream base/docs HEAD:

  • http://www.w3.org/2000/svg SVG namespace declarations

Why this matters

Using HTTPS avoids insecure redirects, improves link hygiene, and prevents users from being sent to plaintext URLs when secure equivalents are available.
