Hi Have tried unsuccessfully to find docs/howtos on the Internet about setting up Boa 0.94.13 with OpenSSL. Only info I found recommended making sure to use a version of Boa that supports SSL. I'm Stuck ! -- Thanks in advance Charles Mitchell datalocate.net |

Hope this helps you get unstuck. Currently, there are no versions of Boa that support SSL. Consider using stunnel to wrap the http service: 1. Bind Boa to localhost, and whatever port you like. 2. Bind stunnel to whatever IP you want, and port 443 3. Tell stunnel to forward unencrypted connections to localhost and the port that you bound Boa to. 4. test There are some caveats, and I'm sure the 4 steps outlined above are incomplete in some way, but that's what I would do, at least from an outline point of view. Future versions of Boa may support SSL using GNUTLS. -- Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
