title: How would I create a HTTPS request in vala?
body: <p>I am trying to create a github issue app in vala and need to get the list of issues from <a href="https://api.github.com/repos/vmg/redcarpet/issues?state=closed" rel="nofollow">https://api.github.com/repos/vmg/redcarpet/issues?state=closed</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried using this example in my code but this is not working for SSL.

  <p>I have also tried soup but this seems to have a problem where it can't find its dev headers.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be much appreciated.</p>
