[ANN] Monticello + HTTPS

Hi

Thanks to the Curl Plugin [1] there is now a Monticello add-on that
supports https [2]. Well actually it supports FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS,
SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP (check the curl homepage
[3] for a full list).

It has not yet seen much testing, but it can commit itself to
SqueakSource. A thing to note is that this is not a full Monticello
version, it is just a new repository type so it should work well
together with whatever custom Monticello you use.

Very cool.  Is the Curl Plugin non-blocking yet?  How stable/complete
is it?  If it's starting to see real-world use like this, then I
believe I owe a bounty on it.

Danil Osipchuk is probably more qualified to answer your questions but ...

When I download a big file the image still reacts.

The project page says

But to me all the important parts are there (uploading + downloading +
user/password + proxy).
What I havent't tested yet is posting form-data over http (for
SqueakMap releases from SqueakSource.

As for stability, I didn't have a problem yet.
