In the past I've used the indy component TIdHTTP to GET/POST data to or from a website via HTTP. In the Delphi 6 help, it mentions that TIdHTTP does support HTTPS although I haven't ever tried implementing this.

Here's an excerpt:

TIdHTTP = class(TIdTCPClient)

Description

TIdHTTP is a TIdTCPClient descendant that is a client implementation of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) as described in the Internet Standards documents:

Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 1.0 (HTTP/1.0), RFC 1945
Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 1.1 (HTTP/1.1), RFC 2616


TIdHTTP supports HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1 protocols for use as a web-browser or web-robot.

TIdHTTP also supports the Secure Hypertext Transport protocol (HTTPS) as described in the Internet Standards document:

The Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol, RFC 2660


Assign an instance of TIdConnectionInterceptOpenSSL to the Intercept property to allow use of the HTTPS protocol. For the Windows platform, you must install the Indy OpenSSL support .DLL's available at

http://www.intelicom.si

to enable Secure Socket Layer support.

Where is TIdConnectionInterceptOpenSSL ? I can't find it.

I'm guessing you should be able to download it as part of the indy package:
