Thomas, Your response raises a question in me. You say that the only way to make calls to OpenSSL from Delphi is through a DLL written C/C++. I'm curious why you say that.
It is my understanding that Delphi has directives to make its compiled code look and act just like C/C++. You can reverse the way procedure parameters are put on the stack to look list C. You can use null-terminated strings like C. You can even drop to assembly if you must. Indeed, all Windows APIs are written in C/C++/Asm and Delphi is a huge collection of Pascal interfaces to those APIs. How is the OpenSSL library different from all those?

You can write an appropriate interface with OpenSSL, but you'll have to write a wrapper DLL in C or C++ before you can make calls to OpenSSL from Delphi (some things in OpenSSL can only be done from C/C++). Here's how it looks in a pretty ASCII picture: Delphi code -> C++ DLL -> OpenSSL DLL/static library. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President ------------------------ Yahoo!
