This typically isn't the case. The API is compatible insofar as you can connect to a 6.3 server with a v7 client, and vice versa. The API isn't compatible (usually!) in the sense that you can take code written for the 6.3 API and compile it against the v7 libraries. > I can also comment on the "encrypted connections" part with respect to > an v6.3 ARS server.

The simplest test is to set Makefile.PL to compile against the new libs and see what happens. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
