Hi

1) I am trying to test a https page but the log file says:

ERR Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl

when i look at the curl-config --protocols it says it supports HTTPS. How do
i solve this problem.?

2) Also i am only able to connect to the pages hosted in localhost. when i
change the URL to http://ip-address:8080/something.html , with glassfish
running in that server, i am not able to connect to the page. Any idea why
this might be the case? Even normal web pages like www.google.com or any
other pages cannot be connected to , except those in localhost.

Thanks
Seetha
