i'm currently in the process of writing http support for
gnet and would have started to implement ssl thereafter.

whats actually needed is a method to convert an io-channel into 
a ssl/tls-channel.

i began extracting the relevant source from libsoup to port it 
back into gnet, so if you do not want to start from scratch
i'll send you what i already have to hack on.

cheers,
