I would also take a look at stunnel. You can wrap just about anything in this and it supports client certificates as well. I set it up this weekend to wrap my imap services. I could also see this as an option for an ssl-ZServer combination without apache (although I'm still not ready to throw out apache JUST yet ;) ). Here's a link for you: http://mike.daewoo.com.pl/computer/stunnel/ On Mon, 14 Feb 2000, Martijn Pieters wrote:

Would it be correct to assume that ZClient cannot access URLs via https (SSL)?
No.

So are you saying that although Zope cannot serve SSL it can be a SSL client?
I have a situation where I am using zclient to try and retrieve a Word Document fromr corporate extranet via https. I get an error.
I think Petru meant that you cannot use ZClient as a SSL client. Indeed, you can't. I believe that libraries like OpenSSL do include command line clients though.
You can also have a look at M2Crypto, a Python SSL library build on OpenSSL, which includes SSL extensions to the standard Python HTTP client libraries. You can download it from:
