see discussion of https:// and secure pages... http://www.escribe.com/internet/rebol/index.html?by=OneThread&t=%5BREBOL%5D% 20Reading encrypted pages with REBOL%3F%3F%3F SSL (which is a fat pig of a security system, over 1 meg) will not be build into REBOL any time soon.. therefore you cannot do something like "read https://webpages.com" or "load/markup https://webpages.com". However, REBOL can be used as the CGI backend for producing HTTPS:// secure pages. REBOL is not the only scripting tool lacking the ability to read HTTPS:// pages. In fact, very few scripting languages allow you to "read" secure pages. -DV-
