1. Can Zope support SSL or https?
AFAIK without support of some other tool not.
If you have money ($12,000 us), but not programmers/time you can buy a box to do this from Intel. Plus it is very fast. http://www.intel.com/netstructure/products/accel_7110.htm (Not an Intel employee, but they did serve me a very nice Breakfast while telling me about their products). Or you could put Zope behind Apache-stronghold. -- cary
2. Is there some way in Zope through which i can use secure transactions.
I suspect that yes, although I have not done it. You should be able to use Apache-SSL as frontend to Zope (employing ProxyPass). There is also another method, which can work and even be simpler: stunnel (generic SSL encryption wrapper). I have not run it with zope but I saw it running perfectly as frontend to POP3/IMAP mail server.
