SSL (HTTPS) with 2.4

[Andrew Bushnell]

Thanks for the update. I will/can keep you posted. I know for a fact we 
use a Squid proxy which sounds like what you are using. I am going to 
check out the faq you sent and see what it comes up with. I have also 
been perusing the net a bit and looking at other client packages and see 
if they work, such as cURL etc.

Thanks,

Andrew
