[I had previously tried to post this to the libwww-perl mailing list on Yahoo Groups, but it didn't seem to be accepting posts. I hope I've found the right place to post this question! ]
I'd like to be able to use the HTTP::Daemon routines to set up an HTTPS listener on port 443. (Currently I'd have to do a workaround with an external stunnel process, but it'd be far cleaner to have it all in the same process). I searched the archives of the libwww-perl list and saw a discussion in August 1998 that was quite promising. In the following article, Gisle solicits a patch to support SSL in HTTP::Daemon from Goran Thyni: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/libwww-perl/message/3554 And in this article, Goran responds with the patch: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/libwww-perl/message/3574 But after this article, I don't see any further discussion on this topic, and the patch hasn't seemed to make it into the latest code :-( Thanks very much, -Kartik
