Whenever I try to do this and Log the content of the response, I get a URLError: .   
  
  
  
Is https not supported in HTTP.Request? Confused because I swear the Hulu plugin does it.

I have experienced that issue too, it’s not working 100% I don’t think, found a workaround though :

```auto

<br />
import urllib, urllib2<br />
...<br />
handler = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor())<br />
urllib2.install_opener(handler)<br />
p1=Prefs['parameter1']<br />
p2=Prefs['parameter2']<br />
params = urllib.urlencode({"param1": p1, "param2": p2})<br />
f = handler.open("https://wwww.xxxx", params)<br />
data = f.read()<br />
f.close()<br />

```

  
  
hope that helps
