I have used HTTP to connect to a web page, as an example:

00030 OPEN #2: "name=http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default. ... PLAY,OUTIN

When I try to read the page as HTTPS, I get unknown curl error

00030 OPEN #2: "name=https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default ... PLAY,OUTIN

I think I am missing something, is there something special I need to do to connect to an HTTPS page?

You'd need authentication of some sort to make a SSL connection.
