I have searched high and low to find an answer to this, but it seems we are first to ask this question...
We have a client that uses Courier to move content from the staging server to 3 load-balanced produciton servers. The setup is like this:
1x Staging Server with Umbraco Admin (domain name mapped to access Umbraco)
Production Server 1: with Umbraco Admin (domain name mapped to access Umbraco) Production Server 2: No Umbraco Admin Production Server 3: No Umbraco Admin
Everything works perfectly!
NOW... the client has requested that we secure the login to the Umbraco Admin interface so that they can connect via HTTPS. This should also not be a problem as we have setup an HTTPS connection to Umbraco before, BUT we have never used Courier over HTTPS... Does anyone know if Courier will support this without any problems? Any special settings on configurations?
Courier will attempt to transfer to the target server using the same protocol as the source server. So as long as you login to umbraco on the source server using HTTPS it'll work.
It might be usefull to know that you can create a self signed certificate for your development enviroment. This enables you to access your development solution via https and therefor also courier in a mixed http/ https enviroment.

Serverfault has a post on doing that with IIS 7.5: http://serverfault.com/questions/126649/windows-7-iis-7-5-selfssl
This is VERY helpful info. Thanks, Kristian!
