I am not too keen on calling robots using plain HTTP since I plan to do robots that will use usernames and passwords to login to different sites. Can I use HTTPs instead somehow?

Syntax error, do not compute, please restate question

Just use https to call your robots instead of http. For example:

https://service.openkapow.com/Andreas/addtodotobasecamprest.rest?...

 It is that simple.

Thanks for your quick answer!

So using https in the robot URL will use SSL to encrypt the traffic from the client (my browser for example) to the openkapow server that executes my robot. But what about the traffic from the robot to the web sites it logs into? The whole thing must use https to be secure.

If the traffic between your robot (on the openkapow server) and the web site it is interacting with is encrypted or not depends on if you are using HTTP or HTTPS to interact with those sites. If your robot is using HTTPS in all URLs in Load Page steps etc, then all the traffic between the robot and the site is encrypted.

Basically it is the same way as when you are surfing in a browser. If you are using HTTPS it is safe, if you are using HTTP you are showing all your info to everybody. I am sure that whatever site you are going to use in your robot also supports HTTPS, at least if it is security concious and requires login.

When I use HTTPS to get to my robot, I get a reset error:

The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
