url
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3774

Url absoluteFromText: 'https://www.google.com') retrieveContents
or
HTTPSocket httpGet:'https://www.google.com'.

fail because they don't like https://. How can I get content on https:// ?

Sven:

You can't. This is a problem.

There is http://www.squeaksource.com/SqueakSSL.html

but it is not so Pharo friendly as well as incomplete (depending on your  
platform, worst for Mac OS X, less for Linux, best for Windows).
