Hi,
there seems to be some confusion about the use of SSL with Libwww.
At first: Install OpenSSL and the Gluecode.
Then insert the initialization- and termination-calls into your program.
(HTSSLhttps_init and HTSSLhttps_terminate)
SSL is implemented via filters for "https://*". So, if you add filters for
"http://*" you also have to add those filters for "https://*".
Then the use of SSL is, as Olga just said again, totally transparent.
You don't need code like the following (recently posted).
> HTProfile_newPreemptiveClient((LPCTSTR)AfxGetAppName(), VERSION);
> HTProtocol_add("https", "buffered_tcp", 443, YES, HTLoadHTTP, NULL);
