Receiver HTTP(S) connection

Scenario: IDOC-XI-HTTP(S)

Can I do a HTTP(S) connection with Receiver comm channel ? I wan to do a secured HTTP post to the 3rd party.But When I try to create a 'Receiver' Comm channel, I only see Transport protocol of HTTP 1.0 and there is no option for selecting HTTP(S)..

But will it be a secured connection If:

1> If I specify https://ww/test.com/testpath or

2> Create a RFC destination to above URL of type 'G'(HTTP to external server) and specify HTTPS option in 'Special tab' and choose SSL option. Then Specify this destination in the comm channel.

Will any of the above options work?

OR Simple HTTPS is NOT supported for making a post to external sever from XI ?

-Thanks
