downloadFile can't use https links

[Chris]

Https protocol isn't supported. This patch adds SSL capability.

Haven't tested it yet, but this was something that was needed, thanks.

Is it actually secure https, ie, it'll fail if the certs aren't working
right, or just something to make it work?

[Chris (chrismudlet)]

From the docs:

The default SSL configuration consists of:

no local certificate and no private key
protocol TlsV1SslV3
the system's default CA certificate list
the cipher list equal to the list of the SSL libraries' supported SSL ciphers

So it seems to work with new connections, and if a cert list exists it will use it. So my intuition is it won't fail if the cert doesn't exist, but will if it exists and is wrong.

Alright

Another additional benefit of this fix, scripts can have their own update method since they can now access github.

I was trying to figure out how to install this patch, but I couldn't see where to put this.

Currently running an old 2.1 on an inspirion dell that's older, but it's my only means right now that works.
