Hi list...

I'm wondering if it's possible to "engage" SSL *after* normal, non-SSL
transmission has occurred.  I have a server that I'm developing, and I'd 
like it to be flexible in terms of allowing clients to choose whether or
not to encrypt the session data.  When the client first connects, it 
sends to the server, in the clear, a kind-of application-level handshaking
string, whereby it tells the server whether or not it wants to use
SSL --- already, data has been transmitted over regular, non-SSL-filtered 
sockets.
Is it possible to "engage" SSL after data has already been transmitted?


Thanks in advance,
Michael
