HTTPS using Indy

Hi,

I have an application that communicates to a HTTP server. But the data
transferred between client and server is somewhat critical and it is
important that the connection be secure. AFAIK, the better solution is
to use HTTP over SSL, right?

I am using the following Indy components: IdHTTP and
IdConnectionInterceptOpenSSL. What else do I need? Does the client
needs a certificate file, a cipher list and so on? The server is not
under my control, but I know it supports SSL.

I am new to SSL and I couldn't understand it very well.

Thanks in advance.

Otavio.
