title: delphi 7 convert HTTP gets to HTTPS gets
body: <p>I have a program that currently uses Delphi 7 with Indy 9 (I believe) that performs several HTTP <code>GET</code> requests.  I need to convert them to use HTTPS now.</p>
  
  <p>The server side is under my control. </p>
  
  <p>I also do not want to install any external DLLs with my program.</p>
  
  <p>I have done many Google searches, but to me it appears I either have to install the external OpenSSL DLLs, or upgrade to a later Delphi version, or use a 3rd party control that is not as simple as the <code>TIdHTTP</code> component.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start?</p>
