Hi I would like to take a stab at this.
looking at the code

    @line_magic
    def pastebin(self, parameter_s=''):
        """Upload code to dpaste.com, returning the URL.

        Usage:\\
          %pastebin [-d "Custom description"] 1-7

        The argument can be an input history range, a filename, or the name of a
        string or macro.

        Options:

          -d: Pass a custom description. The default will say
              "Pasted from IPython".
        """
        opts, args = self.parse_options(parameter_s, 'd:')

        try:
            code = self.shell.find_user_code(args)
        except (ValueError, TypeError) as e:
            print(e.args[0])
            return

        post_data = urlencode(
            {
                "title": opts.get("d", "Pasted from IPython"),
                "syntax": "python",
                "content": code,
            }
        ).encode("utf-8")

        request = Request(
            "http://dpaste.com/api/v2/",
            headers={"User-Agent": "IPython v{}".format(version)},
        )
        response = urlopen(request, post_data)
        return response.headers.get('Location')

the http is hard coded into endpoint of dpaste.com/api/v2/ in the code.
just changing http to https worked fine in my quick testing.

just wanted to ask, should opting for http or https be based on some parameter instead rather hardcoding the url.

@Lightyagami1 hardcoding the proto into the url is ok. There's no other option for it in there.

In truth, I haven't done it myself only so that someone else can come in, add this simple change, and get their first PR :).
