HTTPS means HTTP over SSL.

So the HTTP traffic is encrypted.

The purpose of encryption is to avoid 3rd parties to look into the traffic.

In other words, the CSS can't see the url inside HTTPS traffic. So it is not possible to use urql or any other functions that would require to see the HTTP traffic.

If this is really needed, you can buy an SSL offloader (there is an ssl module for the CSS 1150x) and decrypt the traffic before it gets to the CSS or on the CSS itself.

thanks. I have realised it also using a sniffer.
