Jirapong, What are your thoughts on wrapping the Bouncy Castle Crypto APIs: http://www.bouncycastle.org/
I think this is what JRuby does, but rather than distributing it as part of JRuby, they release it a a gem (jruby-ssl, I believe) and encourgae you to install it. -- Will Green http://hotgazpacho.org/ On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 6:18 AM, Jirapong Nanta <jirapong.na...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hello Tomas, > I would like to continue my work with OpenSSL.
