Https support ? #4

Hello,

First, thank you for updating this library. We are currently in the process of porting an application to windows, so this certainly be very useful.

Is it possible to use this library to connect over an https connection ? I'd guess that it would have to be at the cURL level, or does it have higher level bindings ?

Regards

@Sunslash that's indeed a good question. Due to the fact we can't use SSL effectively we have not investigated if this is possible with the current approach. I would expect that the underlying cURL needs to be capable of this. This may needs some additional configuration. Please share your experience.

Hello Christian. Thanks for your reply. I guess I'll take a look at libcurl.

From what I gather, it's mainly a problem of properly setting some options through curl_easy_setopt. Another point to take into consideration is that it would be better to keep the connection open to avoid having to perform the SSL handshake before each xmlrpc call.
