I think this http/ssl problem is reasonably well addressed by mini_httpd (this is Jeff Pozkanzer's code, about 50kb) and a small SSL library which you find in ports/security/xyssl (300kb). Mini_httpd uses the regular openssl libraries, but the xyssl API is reasonably similar to the SSL_* calls in openssl so it should be relatively straightforward to use in mini_httpd -- I did this in another project, even though only on the client side of https http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/minixmlrpc/ and it took very short time to adapt the code from openssl to xyssl. cheers luigi _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
