One option you can do is get the wget utility for Windows (see
http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ ).  It will allow you to get content from
https (ssl) sites.   For instance, I have a little ditty that I use to grab
the current WAN IP address assigned on my home wireless router (which uses
https) via:

wget https://192.168.1.1/Status_Router.asp --no-check-certificate
--user=vincenj --password=xxxxxxxx --connect-timeout=2 --tries=1

Works like a champ.

For VM tools, there are other options like the current version of Charlotte
with SSL support.   I have not dug into that one yet, but would like to
someday when things get quieter here... hahaha!   Since WebRover uses the
Charlotte engine, I'd like to get WebRover to be able to do SSL too.
WebRover lets you get http/ftp content via a Pipe stage so it can be
manipulated quick and easy.
