Hi Paul, I'm using (and have used from some time) a windows build of OpenSSL from here:
http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html The ultimate object is to wrap some minimal subset of SSL (and thus OpenSSL since it's the major open source version) in Eiffel. The nice - but obscure - OO language that we use in house (where I work). We're not a software firm and we only write our software to support in-house business functions. Eiffel is obscure and thus for every, say, nice open source package out there we have to wrap it ourselves - and by hand as it were. E.g. (newer packages): Twisted, Spring Framework, etc. A colleague started me on this task. He first pointed me to https://launchpad.net/pyopenssl . This provides a python interface for SSL (and uses OpenSSL). He thought this might be a good example of how to wrap OpenSSL. As turns out what the pyOpenSSL project consists of is rather a large amount of C code (that returns types such as pyObject) and compiles into 3 (I think?) .pyd files where are python DLLs. You put this into your python installation etc. The C code under pyOpenSSL doesn't seem (to me) the most expeditious route to where I want to go. I simply (or not so simply) want to wrap - again - some minimal subset of SSL in Eiffel. So I then set off in search of a hopefully small amount of C code that could provide me with a better sense of the SSL api. I'm not totally clueless here since I've written a number of TCP/IP socket based apps. And, very long ago, a portion of a TCP/IP stack for the Macintosh. Oh - and so I haven't built OpenSSL from scratch. I seek to use OpenSSL - if I need to dig into it, I'll do so when that time comes. I did look in my (windows) installation of OpenSSL but didn't (to the extent that I looked) find example code. Maybe I need to go back to the original tarball and look there. But given that I've been at this maybe 2 wks part-time, it's not like I've yet had a chance to try every combination that might have occurred to me. I don't mind stumbling around in the dark at some initial stage. I've done it many times before - and productively.
