I have the impression that there is still some confusion around using Zodiac to do HTTPS access.
The easiest way to try this for yourself is to download the customized one-click image:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16235440/Pharo-1.3-Zodiac-OneClick.app.zip (~25Mb)
Now, next is some code that shows how do a command line google search using HTTPS on Linux.
Let's build a curl like tool that can do this:
$ ./query-google.sh 'Pharo Smalltalk' | less
[…]
$ cat query-google.sh
#!/bin/bash
script_home=$(dirname $0)
script_home=$(cd $script_home && pwd)
image=$script_home/experimental.image
script=$script_home/query-google.st
args=$*
vm=$script_home/bin/CogVM
options="-vm-display-null -vm-sound-null"
#echo $vm $options $image $script $args
$vm $options $image $script $args
$ cat query-google.st
| result |
result := ZnClient new
systemPolicy;
beOneShot;
https;
host: 'encrypted.google.com';
addPath: 'search';
queryAt: 'q' put: Smalltalk commandLine arguments first;
get.
FileStream stdout nextPutAll: result.
Smalltalk quitPrimitive.
$ cat build.st
"Script to update a stock Pharo 1.3 image with application specific code"

And everything should be fine.
