Actually for HTTP+SSL, even we have it supported in HTTP file system, it's
enabled only when SUPPORT_SECURE_SOCKETS is defined:
"
#ifdef SUPPORT_SECURE_SOCKETS
const char* CHTTPFileSystem::zm_pProtocol       = "http|chttp|https";
#else
const char* CHTTPFileSystem::zm_pProtocol       = "http|chttp";
#endif
"

I don't see SUPPORT_SECURE_SOCKETS is defined anywhere in our source, this
is why RealPlayer doesn't have it. It was added back in 2001, does anyone
know why we don't enable it? Is it because it's not fully implemented or
some other reason?
