Let's be clear about what we're saying here. JRun is a servlet
container, normally configured as a web server add-on. But it also
comes with its own little web server. *That* web server does not
support SSL. But when you use JRun as a web server add-on, whether
you can use SSL depends on the web server you are using. I believe
IIS does support SSL, but I don't really know anything about it. And
when you use JRun (and in fact most web server add-on servlet
containers), there is little or nothing you need to do to make it work
with SSL -- that is part of the web server, and (mostly) transparent
to JRun (I say "mostly" because there may be some slight changes you
need to make in the configuration).
And this all has to do with JRun being on the server end of the https
transaction, it doesn't say anything about it being on the client end.
