Are you able to grab a file from a secure https site (not just http)
with copy? I am curious to see if this is Windows issue, a network
issue, or a Stata issue.
Stata is not currently able to negotiate an SSL connection. Thus, if
you want to drive an automatic download via HTTPS from Stata, you'll
need to call out to a shell command (e.g., curl or wget) to execute
the actual download, save the result in a temporary file, and then
pick up that file from within Stata.
