Does HTTP.Testconnection work for HTTPS websites?

[CTyler]

Does HTTP.TestConnection work with HTTPS servers? If I use the following it tells me I don't have a connection. If I change the https:// to http:// it will work, but it is no longer a secure channel.

IsConnected = HTTP.TestConnection("https://www.epilio.com/web/home.htm?open", 20, 443, nil, nil);
if (IsConnected == false) then
Dialog.Message("Notice", "No Internet connection was detected.");
else
Dialog.Message("Notice", "we got a connection");
end

You can alternatively use the lua socket for that purpose.
