Alex aka WindEagle pointed out that when doing "curl -v dictionary.com", curl

assumed this used the DICT protocol. While guessing protocols will remain
fuzzy, I've now made sure that the host names must start with "[protocol]."
for them to be a valid guessable name. I also removed "https" as a prefix that
indicates HTTPS, since we hardly ever see any host names using that.
