HTTPS in PB?

Yeah, it is possible to get/send some data using the HTTPS protocol in PB? I've heard about WININET.DLL and that one source code in PureArea but doesn't seems to help me... or at least the code's way too hard for me to understand... but don't know anything about WININET.DLL nor how to use it in PB (A wrapper would do nicely) so... any way I can get/send data using HTTPS in PB?

If you're talking about a webserver there's a few examples, the Atomic Webserver an KNet (a program I've written) are just two and the source is included with PB or on the fourms.

By webserver you mean hosting or accessing it?

Uh, that looks interesting... now how the hell does it work? I know that code snippet... and nice modification you made, but it didn't explained anything about the API commands there.... and the MSDN didn't helped me

Anyone? :S 'cause I'm making an MSN client and need to do the HTTPS authentication in it :/
