IdHttp, Get Source from a https:// site!

Hi,
I am searching very long for a solution to get a source from a HTTPS:// page!

This is how I did the work:
I added an idhttp component, then an IdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL component and I insterted IdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL in Idhttp as IOHandler.
Then I added "IdSSLOpenSSLHeaders.Load;" in form.create.
And finally I added the 3 DLL's in the application folder. (libssl32.dll,ssleay32.dll,libeay32.dll).
If I run the program, it gives some weird errors like Address 0000X0000.
The source code:

procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
IdSSLOpenSSLHeaders.Load;
end;
 
procedure TForm2.SpeedButton1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
try
memo1.Text :=  idhttp1.Get('https://weblogin.runescape.com/login.ws');
finally
idhttp1.Free;
idssliohandlersocketopenssl1.Free;
end;
end;

where is the create of your objects ?

i can see a free of 2 objects but no create ...

idhttp1 := TIdHttp.Create ...
idssliohandlersocketopenssl1 := Tidssliohandlersocketopenssl.Create ...

and if you put them on the form, don't use free
otherwise you will get errors the second time you use the procedure

What do you mean...
I don't use create , I use visual - I click Indy Clients - Idhttp - Add to form.

ah ok, but why do you free them ?

memo1.Text := idhttp1.Get('https://weblogin.runescape.com/login.ws');
finally
idhttp1.Free;
idssliohandlersocketopenssl1.Free;
end;

the second time nothing will work and you will get access violation when using idHttp1 or
idssliohandlersocketopenssl1

memo1.Text := idhttp1.Get('https://weblogin.runescape.com/login.ws');
except
end;
end;

I have an other questions, I will increase points if someone answers this:

I have a website, and I need to get the source of the result.
If I navigate with the webbrowser to:
http://www.w2.hidemyass.com/index.php?q=aHR0cDovL2dvb2dsZS5jb20=
You're result will be Google.
But if I use this link with idhttp1.get(), I get another result, how to get to google?
Do I need idhttp1.post () ? or, please give me an example!
