Folks,
I need to have SSL client capability from within a NSAPI plug-in. Basically,
the plug-in sets up https connection to another secure server.
I was hoping to use the built-in SSL libraries in the commerce/enterprise
servers, and used the SSL reference implementation as a starting point to
figure out the functions that needed to be called ... SSL_Create,
SSL_Handshake etc. However, I ran into unresolved references. So either
the symbols for these functions have been mangled or else the client side
functionality does not exist in these server products.
I don't know of any NSAPI functions that address this either. Is there
a NSAPI set of functions for addressing SSL related issues ?
Any ideas ? Kludges ? hacks ? how I might be able to solve this problem.
Thanks.
Vikul
