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.
