Crawling a secure site

If I want to crawl a site which has SSL certificates, how can I do this?

I know there is the WebClient class in C# and HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse but what changes would I need to make?

Just add this at the top of your application

    ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += delegate(object sender,  X509Certificate certifcate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
    return true;
};

This will make HttpWebRequest accept any certificates from the servers.

You do not need to change anything, except the url which should start with "https" instead of "http".
