A number of people have been asking for an easy/convenient way to test Zodiac,
an as yet unfinished attempt at a better (secure) socket stream, in order to
support HTTPS. I uploaded a 16Mb archive with a ready made image and a Mac OS X
Cog VM with the necessary plugin:
http://homepage.mac.com/svc/Zodiac-Alpha-June-21-2011.zip
Make sure to use the included VM called 'Pharo' by dropping the zodiac.image on
it.

PS: Sorry, but Linux and Windows VM's don't fully work right now, I will look
into this when I have more time.

"Start with a plain Pharo Core 1.2.1 #12345"
Gofer it
squeaksource: 'ZincHTTPComponents';
package: 'Zinc-HTTP';
package: 'Zinc-Tests';
package: 'Zinc-Patch-HTTPSocket';
load.
Gofer it
squeaksource: 'Zodiac';
package: 'Zodiac-Core';
package: 'Zodiac-Tests';
load.
Gofer it
squeaksource: 'ZincHTTPComponents';
package: 'Zinc-Zodiac';
load.
"Switch to the Zn Zodiac socket factory"
ZnNetworkingUtils default: ZnZodiacNetworkingUtils new.
"Note: all http(s) in the image will now go through Zodiac streams"
"** Make sure to use a Mac OS X Cog VM with the SSL plugin **"
"Run the units tests, or just try"
ZnClient get: 'https://encrypted.google.com'.
