                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2220
             Project: Xerces-C++
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 3.2.3
         Environment: Windows 10

            Reporter: Florian Meinicke


According to [a comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2029?focusedCommentId=13982847&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13982847] from [Xerces-C++/XERCESC-2029|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2029] only the curl and winsock network accessors support https URLs.

While I got everything working on Linux using the curl accessor I cannot do so on Windows. I'm still getting the "unsupported protocol in URL" error even though I'm using the winsock accessor.  
The problem appears to be that https has been deliberately disabled for the winsock accessor:

Taken from {{src/xercesc/util/NetAccessors/WinSock/WinSockNetAccessor.cpp}}:
{code:cpp}
BinInputStream* WinSockNetAccessor::makeNew(const XMLURL&  urlSource, const XMLNetHTTPInfo* httpInfo /*=0*/)
{
    XMLURL::Protocols  protocol = urlSource.getProtocol();
    switch(protocol)
    {
        case XMLURL::HTTP:
        {
            BinHTTPURLInputStream* retStrm =
                new (urlSource.getMemoryManager()) BinHTTPURLInputStream(urlSource, httpInfo);
            return retStrm;
            break;
        }

        //
        // These are the only protocols we support now. So throw and
        // unsupported protocol exception for the others.
        //
        default :
            ThrowXMLwithMemMgr(MalformedURLException, XMLExcepts::URL_UnsupportedProto, urlSource.getMemoryManager());
            break;
    }
    return 0;
}
{code}

My understanding is that the winsock accessor should support https URLs so the question is why is https being disabled in {{WinSockNetAccessor}}?
