Thanks, noted, and you are not the first person to ask for that.
I cannot officially comment on whether/when we can do this, but it is not
quite as easy as it may sound: HTTPS requires SSLv2/v3, which is
a HUGE package by itself, more than three times as large as all
of REBOL/Core, just for the SSL protocol suite, and there are some
legal issues (licensing, patents, US export etc.) as well that would
have to be solved somehow.
Nevertheless we are certainly looking into this. As someone who
ported SSLv2/SSLv3/TLSv1 to AmigaOS and had to deal with all those
hassles :) I just wanted to let you know that supporting HTTPS is not just
a matter of adding a new protocol and a few lines of REBOL code, so
please be patient.
