Does anybody know how to download the SWHTTPClient? (still looking for a https client :-) )

AFAICT, https is just http over an SSL socket. The less incorrect I am about that, the more you are in fact looking for an SSL socket implementation. My thought is to create that on top of OpenSSL, whether by plugin or FFI/Alien. OpenSSL provides non-blocking calls, but my recollection is that they are not simple to use. A plugin that can start OS threads to prevent blocking (on connect, read, and write) might be the easiest approach. Perhaps someone who actually knows something about Squeak plugins could comment on whether that makes any sense :) Bill -----Original Message----- From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [mailto:pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Hernán Morales Durand Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 12:22 PM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] SWHTTPClient http://universes.dnsalias.net/universes/repositories/squeak-3.9/SWHTTPClient... 2009/8/11 Hernan Wilkinson <hernan.wilkinson@gmail.com>:

Sorry if this is not the case, but... why don't you use stunnel instead trying to make https protocol work on squeak? Is much more easy, I think. Cheers, Esteban On 2009-08-11 14:47:07 -0300, "Schwab,Wilhelm K" <bschwab@anest.ufl.edu> said:

Two reasons: (1) OpenSSL offers a lot more than just SSL sockets, so it is worth wrapping; (2) it would be easy enough to do that is worth the effort. Any time one introduces something like stunnel, there are setup complexities, which become opportunities to make mistakes that leave data unprotected. -----Original Message----- From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [mailto:pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Esteban Lorenzano Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 1:03 PM To: pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] SWHTTPClient Sorry if this is not the case, but... why don't you use stunnel instead trying to make https protocol work on squeak?

Thanks you all guys for the answers. We have no decided what to do yet... stunnel is an option too because the code we are writting now on pharo will have to run on GemStone later on, so that is another variable to have in mind also...
