The problem with REBOL and SSL is that REBOL can not yet download files
using the HTTPS protocol (URLs that begin with https://).
This is a problem if you want to develop a web client script that need to
talk with a securised web server.

But in your case you don't care because you are developping CGI scripts.
This the job of the web server that hosts your CGI to do the SSL
encryption/decryption to talk with the browser of the customer.
