             Summary: Winsock Network Accessor does not support https URLs
                 Key: XERCESC-2220
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2220
             Project: Xerces-C++
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 3.2.3
         Environment: Windows 10
MinGW 7.3.0 64-bit
            Reporter: Florian Meinicke


According to [a 
comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2029?focusedCommentId=13982847&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13982847]
 from 
[Xerces-C++/XERCESC-2029|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2029] 
only the curl and winsock network accessors support https URLs.

While I got everything working on Linux using the curl accessor I cannot do so 
on Windows. I'm still getting the "unsupported protocol in URL" error even 
though I'm using the winsock accessor.  
The problem appears to be that https has been deliberately disabled for the 
winsock accessor:

Taken from {{src/xercesc/util/NetAccessors/WinSock/WinSockNetAccessor.cpp}}:
{code:cpp}
BinInputStream* WinSockNetAccessor::makeNew(const XMLURL&  urlSource, const 
XMLNetHTTPInfo* httpInfo /*=0*/)
{
    XMLURL::Protocols  protocol = urlSource.getProtocol();
    switch(protocol)
    {
        case XMLURL::HTTP:
        {
            BinHTTPURLInputStream* retStrm =
                new (urlSource.getMemoryManager()) 
BinHTTPURLInputStream(urlSource, httpInfo);
            return retStrm;
            break;
        }

        //
        // These are the only protocols we support now. So throw and
        // unsupported protocol exception for the others.
        //
        default :
            ThrowXMLwithMemMgr(MalformedURLException, 
XMLExcepts::URL_UnsupportedProto, urlSource.getMemoryManager());
            break;
    }
    return 0;
}
{code}

My understanding is that the winsock accessor should support https URLs so the 
question is why is https being disabled in {{WinSockNetAccessor}}?
