      Description

      MERLOT had to change to using https for security reasons; the MERLOT.org URL picker uses http. Changing to https fixes the issue.

      In repository/merlot/lib.php line 88 change http://www.merlot.org to https://www.merlot.org

      I'm looking at how I can submit the patch, but if someone else wants to do it who is already familiar with the process, I will not feel like someone is stepping on my toes.
