Accessing a https end point

[jmartyniak]

I am having trouble accessing a https end point, there doesn't seem to be a way, unless I am missing something.

I have tried the following:

1. setting a value like schema, method, etc. None work and aren't supported. checked in the ./DependencyInjection/Configuration.php file and in fact they aren't supported.
2. added a https:// to the host param and get the following message: 'A error occurs: Solr HTTP error: HTTP request failed, Could not resolve host: https'
3. Left as a host name, and changed the port to 443, and received: '400 The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port'

Any ideas? I am using a hosted solr instance and it is https based.

thank you,
