Someone might suggest a more native method, but one solution would be to use Tunnelier or another socket proxy utility so that you can bridge the connection securely. For example, rather than connecting to myUVhost, connect to localhost:31438. With the proxy, your transactions will then be encrypted and proxied from 31438 to your Linux system. You need to set a destination socket. Let's use 30438 for this example. Now setup another port in Linux to accept this special inbound, encrypted connection. In Linux you'd use a command similar to this: ssh -L :30438:localhost:31438 That says "accept SSL transactions on 30438, and pass the decrypted payload to 31438". At that point your Linux service should get the transaction and process it as though it the encryption never happened. I have been trying to find time to refine and verify that procedure because I have a number of applications for it. I am hoping someone here can verify, correct, or completely replace this with something we can all use.
