I would suggest checking which netacessor Xerces was compiled with. It's more easily configured with the CMake build provided with Xerces-C 3.2.0. If using libcurl, make sure it was built with SSL support; this might also apply to other netaccessors.

Does Xalan-C support xslt transforms from a https url on Windows? I'm a developer working on a commercial database product, we're using Xerces-C 3.11 and Xalan-C 1.11 on Windows. When exporting our data as XML and using a xslt transform via a url, if that url is using https we get back an error of "SAXParseException: unsupported protocol in URL". If the url is changed to use http, everything works as expected. Our product is multi-platform, and using Xerces 3.1.1 and Xalan 1.11 on macOS works fine with either http or https. We are calling XalanTransformer::transform( (xmlpath), (xslpath - a https url), (ofstream out var) ), which returns -2 as its result. We then call XalanTransformer::getLastError() which returns the exception text I referenced above. Perhaps if it is supported, there is some compile option we are missing? Unfortunately, my google-foo has failed me, and I don't know if this is even supported. In this security-sensitive world, telling our customers that they must only use http won't be acceptable in some cases. We'd like to also support them using https on Windows. Any information, solutions, or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
