Hi David,
If you want to contribute a more general ssl/TLS layer, we'd love to see it. A proposed new feature would have to (a) be uniconish, i.e. be an elegant addition that is consistent with the language, and (b) be implemented well and portably. Design discussions on something like this would be welcome in the unicon-ldif mailing list. Ultimately, code talks louder than words, but with a sufficiently detailed design and a sponsor, students can be hired to accomplish much at a bargain price. I am always interested in new sponsors. The current networking capabilities of the language consist of the lower-level TCP/UDP networking capabilities reflected in open() modes "n", "nu", "na", and "nl", and the higher level messaging facilities provided in mode "m". Adding https (libssl) support was a minimal extension of the existing http support in the messaging facilities. It is client-oriented, so one particular opportunity is for someone to invent higher-level server support. Cheers, Clint ________________________________ From: David.gamey <david.ga...@rogers.com> Sent: Thursday, August 4, 2016 1:11:54 PM To: p...@firefly.nlm.nih.gov; Sergey Logichev Cc: Unicon group Subject: Re: [Unicon-group] HTTPS and FTP protocols Hi all, I'd started to look at this several years back, but my interest was in a more general ssl/TLS layer, with client and server, with the ability to specify Security parameters like cipher suites and protocols. My thinking was that it's a lot to go through just for http when there are so many other applications. Not sure to what extent this is possible with what's already in. It could be useful.

It stopped working for a while. I don't know the current status. --Phillip On Wed, 3 Aug 2016, Sergey Logichev wrote: > Yes, I mean exactly https:// and ftp:// > > 03.08.2016, 07:28, "Jafar Al-Gharaibeh" <to.ja...@gmail.com>: > Do you mean HTTPS?
