Of course; I don't know what I was thinking...  We'd need it on OpenVMS
too, though.

Are you refering to Netscape web servers?  I'm really just interested in a
library I can link against to get SSL functionality in my application.


I found a public domain SSL implementation (as a library, called SSLeay),
which has apparently been used successfully in several public domain web
servers (Apache, NCSA) and popular applications (e.g. FTP, Telnet, and so
on).  The library is freely available to use by anyone for any purpose,
import concerns and licensing of unerlying technologies being the
responsibility of the user.  See http://www.psy.uq.edu.au:8080/~ftp/Crypto/
for much more info on it.

It looks promising, but I'm not pinning my hopes on it yet.
