As SSL has a high priority on my list, it would be a matter of writing an external program that does https (given the URL), retrieves the resource, performs any other required tasks and reports it results somewhere.
That is, I'd make all the necessary bindings/extensions in dillo's core to accomodate the plugin.
AFAIU, the most basic communications required between dillo and the https dpi are:
1) -> Send the https URL to retrieve 2) <- Maybe make the user confirm the certificate acceptance 3 <- https resource
Does this mean that https plugin should implement http protocol by itself? It wouldn't be too hard using for example the curl library, but a downside is that most dillo http features (like cookies support) would be omitted.
