Two questions about new MFC internet classes

I'm using the new MFC internet classes and have two questions:
First, is it possible to connect to "https://..." sites? There seems to be
support for "secure http", but AfxParseURL doesn't recognize "https:".
However, it does recognize "shttp:". Trying to connect to:
https://swww.etrade.com/cgi-bin/cgitrade/MainMenu
... CHttpFile::SendRequest() returns error 12029 ("cannot connect"), even
though I'm passing INTERNET_FLAG_SECURE to CHttpConnection::OpenRequest().
There is a several-second delay before SendRequest() fails, so it seems to be
sincerely trying to connect to the remote server and not succeeding. I'm
thinking the problem is due to some difference between "https:" and "shttp:".
Any clues?
Secondly, where can I find out how to send "form data"? I need to generate
automatic responses to a HTML form. I can parse the HTML and figure out what
fields need to be sent, I just don't know how to use the "PUT" or "POST"
methods to actually submit the responses.
Thanks,
Jim

This is a bug, unfortunately. It'll be fixed in MFC 4.2a.

Read the HTTP specification. It explains most of the rules.
