Re: Can an upate center be on a site that requires https?

There's no problem. It can be HTTPS as well as HTTP.

The only thing you have to remember - and this is not documented - is that
verification of the server's certificate has been turned off in the NB
Platform code. Any server certificate will be accepted.
Why this is so I don't know. I suspect it was handy when the code was
developed and then it was not removed when the code went into production.
