How do I do an HTTPS request with Erlang?

Question

I tried the inets library but it times out. I don\'t think it supports HTTPS. I am trying to use ibrowse, but it isn\'t working.

Answer 1

This is what worked for me:

application:start(crypto),
application:start(public_key),
application:start(ssl),
application:start(inets).

httpc:request(head, {"https://example.com", []}, [{ssl,[{verify,0}]}], []).
