Using a HTTPS Resource in Yahoo Pipes?

Question

Is possible to use a HTTPS: resource in a URLBuilder in Yahoo Pipes?

I have used a HTTP: easily, but when I change it to HTTPS: I get an error.

Answer 1

you can work around yahoo pipes not supporting https by "proxying" your https url through YQL (Yahoo! Query Language), which does support https. yahoo pipes has the Sources > YQL module, which you can pass a https url with a YQL query like that:

select * from rss where url='https://example.com/example.rss'

with this query, the YQL module will return all items from the original https feed.
