Creating an SSL connection in ExtendScript

[John Whitney]

Is there any way to create a connection to an HTTPS server using pure ExtendScript code?  ExtendScript provides a simple Socket object for HTTP connections, but I don't see any examples showing how to create secure connections.

short answer NO. there is only http support as you've found out with the socket class.

long answer MAYBE, there are extensions or workarounds you can use. There's an HTTPS extension available, check google.

Here's what I did. I use localhost and curl the https site that i want then i query localhost from indesign and get my https page in http. kind of a long way around things, but it works.
