Correct. As of now, you would need to utilize the stand-alone,
installable WAVE API engine to evaluate secure pages.

One of the components of this manager, which is still being developed,
will allow you to spider the site and compile a list of URLs for
evaluation. If you have another means of generating a URL list, then
with a bit of programming you could send them to the stand-along API
for evaluation.

The WAVE API test for aspects of Section 508. HTML validation is not
currently included, but could possibly be added as a test option in
the future.
