Eventually, I tried dummy approaches as connecting to the SSL port directly (i.e 443) and tried to send my requests but as you'd guess, plain http requests do not go through even how much I pray to the socket god
Is there a way to do a GET/POST request towards a web server running SSL using amxmodx?
P.S If you are not sure, it does not matter! All I need is some pointers towards what to research exactly. So post a link that you think can be useful for anyone facing same dilemma
Thank you a lot!

Encrypting data for a SSL channel is only possible if an OpenSSL-like library is included in the module. As far as I know none of the socket modules for AMXX have that ability and with reason - sending and receiving data through SSL/TLS protocols is not so easy to implement.
