RFC 1945 - Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 1.0 [HTTP/1.0]
RFC 2616 - Hypertext Transfer Protocol version 1.1 [HTTP/1.1]
TIdCustomHTTP provides support for both HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1 protocols. Note: Post is restricted to support for the HTTP 1.0 protocol due to limited and/or improper HTTP server support for the HTTP 1.1 specification.

RFC 2965 - HTTP State Management Mechanism
Netscape Persistent Client State - HTTP Cookies
TIdCustomHTTP also supports the Secure Hypertext Transport protocol (HTTPS) as described in the Internet Standards document:
RFC 2660 - The Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol
You must install the Indy OpenSSL support .DLL's available at the Intelicom web site , or a third party SSL library to enable Secure Socket Layer support.
Assign an instance of TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketBase (or a descendant class) to the IOHandler property to allow use of the HTTPS protocol in HTTP requests.
