http://starship.skyport.net/~lemburg/ will get you pretty close, but, mxCrypto only provides an interface to ciphers and not to the SSL protocol itself, so it's not useful for this purpose.

I'm gonna put my "work hat" on (I do crypto for a living :-), and say don't even try this one :-) It's too big a pain in the ass to get right, and Apache does a prettyy good job. If I was gonna try and shove it into Medusa (which I've thought about) THAT is a different question.

Chris, I think it should be a long-term goal that SSL find it's way into Zope (and Python in general) to build scaleable applications. Perhaps we haven't seen much yet, but it may soon be necessary for servers to act as clients to talk to other servers across secure channels. Apache is great for the server side of the equation, but Zope needs a client SSL solution, too. IMO. Best regards, Jeff Bauer Rubicon, Inc.
