Error when Commerce validates an EU VAT number:
Warning: SoapClient::__construct(http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl): Failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

This is because the valiation url requires https instead of http (now).

In
web/modules/contrib/commerce/modules/tax/src/Plugin/Commerce/TaxNumberType/EuropeanUnionVat.php

Change:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl
Into:
https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl

To fix the errors.
This applies to all versions of Commerce.
