Hello!

The examples and docs I've found for setting up an update center have all used a regular http URL, such as 
Code:
http://my_site.com/updates.xml

.

Can the update center be on a site that requires https, such as the update center link would be 
Code:
https://my_site.com/updates.xml 

?

Perhaps the https negotiation all happens in the background and NetBeans doesn't care???

Thanks!
