Analytics no longer sent since upgrade from 0.4.23

[sp-watson]

Hi, we have recently upgraded to the latest version and GA is no longer working. The upgrade was from 0.4.23 to 0.5.1. Reverting back to the old version fixed the issue.

The problem appears to be related to the URL used when submitting requests to GA. Previously it used https://www.google-analytics.com:443/collect but on upgrade uses just https://www.google-analytics.com.

I have looked at the changes between those versions, and I noticed the request library was dropped in place of a custom implementation - could that be the cause of this failure?

The problem may be caused by the way we are using your library - in which case any pointers on what we might be doing wrong would be appreciated.
