This has come up a few times, and I think someone might even have
implemented this for some in-house project, but I'm not aware of any
public code to add this functionality, so you can't easily do SSL/TLS
with GNet currently.

If you don't want to write your own ssl layer, your best bet is probably
to port the code from GNet to libsoup-2.4 [1] or so.
