And it is compiled with "C". All the apps in the apps directory use the two dll's produced when your compiled OpenSSL. You can even create static libraries that you can link to from Microsoft Visual C/C++. I use version 6.0 of Visual C/C++ and have linked to OpenSSL both with the .dll and static libraries. So if you want to look at a "real" application that can be used from a "C" point of view, look at any of those in the apps directory. If you don't have a OpenSSL baser server to test with, use the openssl s_server. It will run on Windows, and of course if you have compiled OpenSSL on a Unix system you can run the OpenSSL s_server on UNIX and the OpenSSL s_client on Windows. Or you can reverse it. I really don't know how you can find an example application any better than what you already have. If you want a really complex example application, download the apache web server and mod_ssl source.

There are all sorts of issues totally unrelated to programming that you should be aware of, in addition to knowing how, why and the drawbacks of using portions of the OpenSSL code.

And it is compiled with "C". All the apps in the apps directory use the two dll's produced when your compiled OpenSSL. You can even create static libraries that you can link to from Microsoft Visual C/C++. I use version 6.0 of Visual C/C++ and have linked to OpenSSL both with the .dll and static libraries. So if you want to look at a "real" application that can be used from a "C" point of view, look at any of those in the apps directory. If you don't have a OpenSSL baser server to test with, use the openssl s_server. It will run on Windows, and of course if you have compiled OpenSSL on a Unix system you can run the OpenSSL s_server on UNIX and the OpenSSL s_client on Windows. Or you can reverse it. I really don't know how you can find an example application any better than what you already have. If you want a really complex example application, download the apache web server and mod_ssl source. Ken ok. this is from a c/c++ standpoint for actual intergration into an application. So i'm looking f or source code examples and linking information etc etc. StOo - Original Message - From: "Kenneth R.

And, although the documentation is not the best, you do have to at least try to read it. As for examples, the entire apps directory can be used as examples. You even have a complete server and complete client as well as openssl which uses a large majority of the functions. Have you even tried running openssl with s_server and s_client? On the winsock issue, why should you care. If you use the normal OpenSSL functions you have no need for socket calls. Perhaps I don't understand what you mean by examples. Ken Ok I'm new to this and my first mail was a bit vague. I downloaded the latest source and compil ed it on Win NT sp6 but I'm low on documentation and could do with some of that. I found the exampl e in the demo directory and noticed it was for unix/linux. I know theres some differences between w in socks and unix/linux stuff..so i was looking for a windows example. I found one that works with ol der static libs. But when I tried to recompile it with the new source it complians abo
