 For the net implementation (using EiffelNet), if you need https:// support, you need to enabled the ssl support with the custom variables :
 ```
-		<variable name="netssl_http_client_enabled" value="True"/>
+		<variable name="ssl_enabled" value="True"/>
 ```
 	* By default, SSL is not included (mostly because it is sometime a pain to get the needed dynamic libraries .dll or .so)
