Contributions summary:Fabrice primarily focused on enhancing the `node-geocoder` library by adding SSL support to various API endpoints used for geocoding. They updated the code to utilize HTTPS for requests to services like api-adresse.data.gouv.fr, open.mapquestapi.com, nominatim.openstreetmap.org, api.tomtom.com, dev.virtualearth.net, freegeoip.net, api.geocod.io, and www.mapquestapi.com. This involved modifying the endpoint URLs in the code, ensuring secure communication with the respective geocoding services. This improves the security and reliability of the library by utilizing secure connections for API calls.
