Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Accessing files over HTTPS


System.Net.WebClient has an UpdateFile and a DownloadFile method.  As long
as the server's cert is from a well-known Authority you shouldn't have a
problem with an https url.  If the cert isn't from a well-known Authority
and the Authority isn't in the Trusted Authorities list or the cert isn't
in the Trusted Publishers list you'll have to added in advance.  WebClient
has no UI, so it can't ask the user if the unknown cert is acceptable like
IE does, so it just fails.
