Question:
For normal non-secure web pages I can use the APIs provided by Symbian, but what if I want to open a secure web site ? Can I use the same APIs or do I need to open a CSecureSocket to do this ?

Answer:
All you need to do is specify "https" in the URL passed to the OpenTransactionL method in RHTTPSession e.g . https://www.mysecurepage.com/

The HTTP framework will then automatically connect using CSecureSocket.
