Reading an external page response over HTTPS?

[Bitslong]

I know that an XML HTTP Request won't work to an external site.
Is there some other way that I can make a (different/other/any) request to this (HTTPS) site:
https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/SSO/GetLoginTicket.aspx?SSOID=monkey&CompanyID=1111&Pa ssword=monkey

and process the returned info?
I'm using xampp backend locally.

LogMeIn provide ASP code which can handle it but that's no good to me. It's here for reference:

string sSSOID = monkey;
 
string sSSOPassword = monkey;
 
 
 
System.Net.HttpWebRequest oReq =
 
    (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create("https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/SSO/GetLoginTicket.aspx?SSOID=" + sSSOID + "&Password=" + sSSOPassword + "&CompanyID=11111");
 
System.Net.HttpWebResponse oResp = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse)oReq.GetResponse();
 
string sResp = new System.IO.StreamReader(oResp.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
 
 
 
if (sResp.StartsWith("OK:"))
 
    Response.Redirect( sResp.Substring("OK:".Length) );
 
else
 
    Response.Write( sResp );

After much digging around I came across:

Works a treat!!
