-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 All,
Somewhat off-topic, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any package or technique that could be used to tunnel an arbitrary protocol via TLS? In this particular case, I need to wrap HTTP in TLS (to make HTTPS :) without modifying the source of the client -- and the client does not support HTTPS. :( So far, I've come up with the following possibilities: 1. Use stunnel. This is using a different technique to /avoid/ HTTPS. I'm not actually not sure this will work in this particular case, as the remote service probably doesn't support stunnel connections. This was just an idea for getting a secure, remote connection as easily as possible. 2. Use an HTTP proxy. This obviously wouldn't support an "arbitrary" protocol, but I think it would get the job done. Any suggestions for simply and free proxy software? About all I need to do is configure a client SSL certificate. 3. Hack the code. I'm worried that this may be my only recourse. I'm fully capable of writing an HTTPS connector but I'm not sure how hairy it will be to actually work within the architecture of this client. If anyone has any other brilliant ideas, I'd be happy to hear about them. Thanks, - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJSLhhbAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYVGYQAMPWcBxF0Spv9q0/8rlS1t2n in3hhvnhFI4rrT9zLZcuC+OdAtkZA+Xh6hPzjrqAWIN/aWgdBectDHaEhth7NzoW Pn3eZMF6pAOiwFOv2cwZn/PdwUznlFID2vNK2E/ptt/NG1uIrAUhPIawv50mgIgf RG/dnMVy1LQnx3IJWc9LJjOg4vgSpvQS1duubXXbEesuo5FP+AtAeXLn+Nd2M978 Lv+alncdNfa/2GjiKn0Ugx0QGKob2e/IjivF6nc2rvzeun+FwYHkWYI1prcK9fdH QJnKBFJFYmobc2e+UlE7U6f5M2vU26OcRGyrHvuqQomRTmjfH6m8WQTeVgfnrXxF 7/VPJAq5HzJPPZcTyeUNf3y4QpEPXP2NUds2xUBfE3Juova+6GWmTxzgaEUEKmKD ehybAIlHHck/bgchWSDdxAg2aEZQVFRKLv4lGwfXj/Pc7+maqeh4FBMMHVGL+BjM lwVWsvbdHjd4rubmYyN9YLieI+IaZ+wvcVhl9yu9grsg3rVBzJR+kFen5PH6+plu hQwVPdQ/uXQGGdSSbjW/nck5mzfHsq0JNP89Bp2GeTW8LxAknSJjtRyHAF4u4AI2 yd5bf8PG1fIe1oAWboMxPO7Hdik5KufWxNTF5zvs0+KMeE8XjEAsgMr3a8G5AIuK u3PHl40CBxg/xAFe6pcZ =VcjY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
