I have found htdig to be the fastest and most configurable indexer around.
Now, just like everyone else it seems, my site must go secure.  This
question has been asked many times, but I'll ask it again...

Can htdig index a secure site?

One answer to this question from Browny said that htdig would now index
https sites in version 3.1.4.  I have 3.1.4. and htdig won't talk SSL.
Would recompiling htdig with the openssl libs fix this?
I am running Apache and the entire site is using SSL on port 443 (not even
listening on port 80)

Doing an "htdig -i -vvv" returns:

Apache's error log contains the related errors:

------------------------------------------------------

So, does htdig do SSL and if so how?
I would really hate to have to quit using the world's best indexer!

Also, it seems a seperate port directive would be nice, unless the port is
extracted from the start_url and used for every request (the links in the
pages don't specify port #)

Thanks,
