Hi Jim, Until I or someone else gets SSL working for Windows, the sensible thing is probably for Furnace to not require https for logins on Windows. I've pushed a patch with this change.
The reason we don't support OpenSSL on Windows is that it doesn't support non-blocking IO there. On Unix, its relatively easy to use OpenSSL with a non-blocking descriptor. On Windows it is still possible, but it requires the use of a lower-level API where you marshall encrypted data in and out of buffers yourself before handing it off to the I/O subsystem. If anyone wants to take this project on, it would be great. Let me know and I'll give pointers.
