There are existing solutions for your problem with different issues:
1) There's an SSL implementation in the Cryptography repository on 
SqueakSource: http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography.html . If you load 
that (requires the Crytography package too), then you can load this:
http://leves.web.elte.hu/cryptography/MCHttpsRepository-ul.5.mcz to get a 
https option in MC. To get acceptable performance you'll need the 
DESPlugin. You may have problems with Certificates.
2) There's cURL which handles https and there's an MC extension to support 
https via cURL: http://www.squeaksource.com/monticellossl.html . 
Note that the linked CurlPlugin leaks memory, so you'll have to fix that 
and rebuild it.
3) Load SqueakSSL from SqueakSource and implement the https MC repository 
type with it (like the package linked at 1). Don't forget to ask Andreas 
about the license of SqueakSSL.
