If you are writing a KDE application, you can use KDE's IO architecture called 
KIO.
It can handle https like it handled http, you only have to change the protocol 
in the URLs you use.

For get():

If you have further questions regarding KDE development I suggest you 
subscribe to the kde-devel mailinglist

Cheers,
Kevin
