I embedded basic browser on my MFC application - something like MfcEmbed.

Now I want to add support for SSL (https://), but before I start, can you tell me is this complicated?

Is there any examples, or articles on the net explaining how to to this?


Tomasz,

It is a very complicated task to make SSL / HTTPS work _correctly_.

Sure you can take nss or openssl and create secure sockets pretty quickly, but then what about all of the edge cases that you have to deal with: mixed content, expired certs, domain mismatches, frames or other subdocuments, images from non secure sites, etc.

Also, then you need to think about things like revocation and how you are going to deal with it.

My suggestion is to either embed ie or mozilla into your application or send that url request to a browser.
