Doesn't support HTTPS

[brettnem]

I was using this method because it's literally what I need. I don't think threads will work for me, because I have a 3rd party process calling this process and executing this method. If it's a thread, I think it'll still wait for the thread to die before the parent returns.

While testing https methods, I noticed it's still sending just plain text. Looking at the code, it looks like this is to be expected.

If you could add HTTPS support that would be really awesome :)
