I've been looking at wininet.dll / msinet.ocx but it only seems to support
https. This is all very well for report requests but I'd like to keep a
channel
open like ssh for quick requests. Do you know how I could use msinet.ocx to
do this? I'm also unsure where I stand legally in exporting applications
embedding this from the UK.

Not really difficult at all.
openssl-0.9.3a directly from openssl.org
Windows 98 build 4.10.1998
MS Visual C++ 6.0 (also works in 5.0)
This will need VCVARS32.BAT added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
You will probably have to increase your environment space
through CONFIG.SYS
You will need activeperl from the URL given in INSTALL.W32.
This installed with no problems.
Follow the instructions in INSTALL.W32 inside the openssl tarball
These commands will have to be run in a Dos Shell VM with an
expanded environment space to work. Create a shortcut to
COMMAND.COM on your desktop and change the property
'memory->initial environment' (mine's set to 4096).
All should compile and test ok with the exception of s_server
and s_client which seem to have problems with socket
handling on Windows.
>I really appreciate it.
You're welcome. If you have more specific questions / error messages etc
then please let me know.
