That information is available to the client in the form of the API call PQgetssl(). It will return NULL if no SSL is in use, or something other than NULL if it is (a SSL * pointer, but you don't need to know that if you just want to know if you're on SSL or not). IIRC it was originally disucssed to put it as a function callable, but it was decided that it makes a lot more sense to provide it in the client library. I don't know how many other client libraries provide the SSL information stuff. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
