Your TClientSocket code is still not doing anything with SSL at all.  Like
you said earlier, HTTPS is a secure connection.  You need to establish a
secure connection with the server before you can do anything over HTTPS.

I high suggest that you stop using TClientSocket.  Both HTTP and SSL are
very complex to properly code manually.  There are plenty of pre-made
implementations that you should be using instead.

Works fine when I try it.  But then, I'm using a much newer version of Indy
than you apparently are.
