Re: [Zope] Zope for secure transactions?
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.

Or behind Roxen. Or you can download the mxCrypto tools. There exists a patch to medusa/ZServer to provide https capability. I haven't used it, so I can't speak as to the ease/difficulty in doing so. -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.
