The HTTP commands work exactly the same in http:// as they do in 
https://. There are really only two differences that you MUST account for:

1. If the URL starts with https:// you must have a (correctly 
configured) SSL plugin in your application

2. Proxy support is limited and/or different. The basic reason is that 
proxies read the request to check which host they are supposed to 
connect to, but that is (obviously) not possible if the request is 
encrypted. Some proxies circumvent that obstacle by having the client 
first send a request header in clear text and then establish a keep 
alive connection over which the client and remote host does all their 
SSL stuff without intervention from the proxy, but I am not sure if 
Synapse supports that. Lukas?
