https?

I like that I can say 'http://www.somthing.com' asUrl
retrieveContents. This is cool.

I wish I could say 'https://www.securesomething.com' asUrl
retrieveContents and have it work. I've heard of stunnel and am just
beginning to read the docs. It seems to have a glimmer of a chance
to let me do this (I'm using the Unix VM) but I thought I'd check and
see if anyone had something all built already.

Thanks.

Stunnel will let you forward a local port to a single, explicitly
configured HTTPS connection (so that you would say 'http://localhost:
10001' asUrl retrieveContents and it would get translated into a
request to https://www.securesomething.com). Another option that
should work is to configure an HTTP proxy to translate HTTPS requests
into HTTP requests - it seems like apache + mod_ssl + mod_proxy
should be able to do this though I've never quite got it working
myself. The nicest option IMO would be to write a plugin for libcurl...

Re: https?

OK so stunnel isn't going to fly - do you suppose something could be
done with OSProcess and curl command line tool? That might be the
expedient thing short term.
