URLAccess can handle some HTTPS sites. Not all. It gets better with each new
version though. iCab relies on URLAccess for HTTPS, so you could use iCab to
first verify that the HTPS server you're trying to deal with is actually
supported by URLAccess.
On a G4, OS 9.0.4 US, AS 1.4.3, URLAccess Scripting 2.0, URLAccess extension
2.2.1, this works for me:
set theLocation to ((path to startup disk as string) & "Desktop Folder:new
file")
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
activate
try
download "
https://order.kagi.com/?NNG"; to file theLocation
on error m number n
-- handle error
end try
quit
end tell
(* beware of linewraps *)
