Re: sockets and SSL

[Scott Klement <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian,

I wrote an article for the September 2006 issue of System iNEWS magazine 
that explained how to use SSL sockets from RPG.   If you're a ProVIP 
member of SystemiNetwork.com, you can read it on-line at the following link:

Having the basic socket concepts under your belt will make SSL a lot 
easier to understand.

Also, you might look at the code in the COMMSSLR4 module of HTTPAPI for 
some RPG examples. (Albeit, not the simplest ones on earth.)
