HTTPS support in SubstrateVM

[Christian Wimmer]

Hi Peter,

I assume you are talking about HTTPS support for URL connections. 
Supporting HTTPS is non-trivial because it pulls in a lot from the Java 
security framework (including a lot of C code in addition to the Java 
code), and we need to find out which parts are necessary and which parts 
are not.

It is on our list of things that need to be done, but it will take us a 
while.
