SWHTTPClient

Two reasons: (1) OpenSSL offers a lot more than just SSL sockets, so it is worth wrapping; (2) it would be easy enough to do that is worth the effort.  Any time one introduces something like stunnel, there are setup complexities, which become opportunities to make mistakes that leave data unprotected.

Sorry if this is not the case, but... why don't you use stunnel instead trying to make https protocol work on squeak?
Is much more easy, I think.
