Using HTTPS Resource in Yahoo Pipes?

Can I use the HTTPS: resource in URLBuilder in Yahoo Pipes?

I used HTTP: it is easy, but when I change it to HTTPS, I get an error message.

You are currently stuck. As of 2/09/09, Yahoo Pipes does not support https .

It is possible to configure your own proxy server to receive an SSL request for you and to re-serve the content via http, but this is not what I have ever tried.

you can bypass yahoo channels that do not support https by "proxying" your https url through YQL (Yahoo! Query Language) , which supports HTTPS. In the yahoo channels there is a Sources> YQL module, which you can pass https-url with this YQL request:

select * from rss where url='https://example.com/example.rss'

with this query, the YQL module will return all the elements from the original https channel.

Yahoo! Pipes do not currently support HTTPS. The way I ran into this problem was to set up a PHP page on my own web server that would retrieve the HTTPS channel and echo over HTTP. Then I pointed to the receiver.

This will complete the task:

 <?php $feed_contents = file_get_contents('https://example.com/feed.rss'); header('Content-Type: application/rss+xml'); echo $feed_contents; ?>
