I'm just wondering what needs to be done upon connect and what needs to be done when reading/writing data. I would like to see how this can be integrated with the hostconnect approach, and if it's easy to make it general so that other code than the fopen-wrappers can use SSL easily. Your patch should answer my questions I think. If people want SSL they could also use cURL, but if it's easy to add SSL support in a generic way, then I think it's good. I see you got your account now. Stig
