I fear the answer is probably yes.

That is, I went to a site: http://rays-web.com  where 'Ray' had created
a Euphoria wrapper for CURL and several examples of using it (Euphoria).

The example programs in the download (eulibcurl02.zip) worked nicely, given 
I had installed 'CURL' and OpenSSL per the CURL website. These steps, if 
actually necessary, would be too much for clients perhaps.

Even now, I am facing the fact that Ray's latest release did not include
a version that handles 'secure' web sites....something I very much need.

I'm scratching my head to know how to remedy this issue.
