Folks,

 I've went ahead and added the following comment in nutch-default.xml:

" In order to use HTTPS please enable protocol-httpclient, but be aware of
possible intermittent problems with the underlying commons-httpclient
library."

 Hopefully this will help folks in the future with this.

Thanks!

Cheers,
  Chris
