Oops, did you pass --enable-ssl to configure? I forgot that Aaron changed the default to not build with SSL support (for legal reasons). I'm in the process of cleaning up the build code right now, but you should be able to check out what it is in CVS right now and you should have better luck (please make sure you re-run buildconf). If you pass a https URL to a non-SSL enabled flood, you will now get an error like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./flood examples/round-robin-ssl.xml open request failed (https://www.modssl.org/example/test.phtml). Error running farmer 'Joe': This function has not been implemented on this platform (This is a much better error message than was there at the beginning of the day - we output the URL and say that it hasn't been implemented - which is technically correct. Not really user-friendly, but it'd let us know what is going on.) And, if you are on Solaris 2.6, you'll probably need to specify --with-openssl to indicate your OpenSSL location as it probably won't be in the default search path. I have also updated the documentation on the website to indicate that SSL is no longer the default... Sorry for any confusion on our part. > Thank you very much for your kind help No problem! I hope we get you up and running with flood. Please bear with us. =) -- justin
