The HTTPS package of the Secure Communication Module provides a C++ interface to the HTTPS protocol implemented using the Secure Sockets and HTTP packages. The HTTPS package integrates classes in the Secure Sockets package with the HTTP package of the Internet Protocols Module (Rogue Wave SourcePro Net).

Non-secure HTTP applications can be migrated to secure applications by adding a minimal amount of code. However, you must understand how to design secure systems and you must understand the Secure Sockets package. For references about building secure systems, see Appendix B .
