The above code simply redirects to a https website, it does not use
anything https related to Squeak.

I use an Apache for HTTPS.

Some time ago the cryptography team announced a Smalltalk
implementation for SSL in Squeak. I don't know if it is already
useable for HTTPS and if it performs fast enough, but it is definitely
very cool ...

There is also a Curl plugin, that supports HTTPS.
