Hi all. I'm trying to use the google maps web API from squeak, but I'm 
stuck at square one (as usual).

I can't seem to get https working properly to access a google map server.

The closest I have gotten is using the HttpsSocket class and utilities 
found in Cobalt (squeak 3.8) but that doesn't quite work either.

a:= HttpsUrl absoluteFromText: 
'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=52.36973,5.381927&radius=5000&name=Zeewolde&sensor=false&key=AIzaSyD_fnY5M3jTlwUnkNf9p_oO3j8aVNPo_0c'.
Transcript show: a retrieveContents contents.

It works in a browser, but not with any version of squeak I have tried 
using any code I have tried.

The URL I'm trying to access is:

'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=52.36973,5.381927&radius=5000&name=Zeewolde&sensor=false&key=AIzaSyD_fnY5M3jTlwUnkNf9p_oO3j8aVNPo_0c'

Suggestions on how to get it through squeak? I'll take any version, any 
flavor at this point.

Caveat: I just installed Mac OS X Lion, which may be complicating things 
somehow.

Thanks.

Lawson
