If you look at the way that Davide organized the code, I think that adding OpenSSL would not be a lot of trouble :) And it has already been ported to most major platforms... Just my $.000000000002 worth :)

Although I'd love to see native SSL support I have to support the K.I.S.S. ideology in this case. -Darren - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Binary/unsupported file stripped by Ecartis -- -- Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature -- File: smime.p7s - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
