There's really no reason to bother about the SSL details, since for all
practical reasons you can consider it being HTTP with encryption and the
encryption is taken care of for you.

You do need to read up on the certificate part:
   http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

... but other than so, you can just read up and follow the basic HTTP
scripting guidelines:
