Re: [Dclib-devel] ssl server

[Davis K. <dav...@gm...>]

Actually, it just occurred to me that there is a very easy way to do this.
The http server object is layered on top of the server_iostream object.  So
all you would need to do is make a C++ stream buffer object that did I/O
using libssl (or whatever library is right) instead of directly with
dlib::connection.     Once you have that stream buffer you could make
iostream objects that read and write from an SSL connection and could be
used for anything really.

So to see how to make a stream buffer take a look at the
sockstreambuf_kernel_2 object.  It is pretty straight forward.
