HTTPS
« on: May 01, 2013, 05:22:30 pm »
I am having trouble getting the HTTP class to talk to a server with HTTPS.
The class comments mention that it will use the proper port if the server is HTTPS, so I assume it can handle HTTPS.
But I don't see any explicit way to tell the class that I want HTTPS.
Am I missing something?

No, in fact SFML doesn't support HTTPS at all. It requires SSL (secured sockets), which in turn require crypto stuff. It's not trivial.

Damn.  Ok, thanks.
You might think about removing HTTPS from the comments.

Yep, that would be a good idea.
