CC100: Using HTTPS for the data source URL fixes load_dataset()
State: closed | Author: aajanki (CONTRIBUTOR)

Without this change the following script (with any lang parameter) consistently fails. After changing to the HTTPS URL, the script works as expected.

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("cc100", lang="en")
```

This is the error produced by the previous script:
```sh
Using custom data configuration en-lang=en
Downloading and preparing dataset cc100/en to /home/antti/.cache/huggingface/datasets/cc100/en-lang=en/0.0.0/526ac20780de5e074cf73a7466e868cb67f960b48f6de42ff6a6c4e71910d71b...

ConnectionError: Couldn't reach http://data.statmt.org/cc-100/en.txt.xz (error 503)
```

Note that I get the same behavior also using curl on the command line. The plain HTTP "curl -L http://data.statmt.org/cc-100/en.txt.xz" fails with "503 Service unavailable", but the with the HTTPS version of the URL curl starts downloading the file.

My guess is that the server does overly aggressive rate-limitting. When a client requests an HTTP URL, it (sensibly) gets redirected to the HTTPS equivalent, but now the server notices two requests coming from the same client (the original HTTP and the redirected HTTPS) during a brief time windows and rate-limitter kicks in and blocks the second request! If the client initally uses the HTTPS URL there's only one incoming request which the rate-limitter allows.
