I just tried the latest and greatest External Editor (V0.6)
under Win XP but couldn't get it to work over SSL with the
files (libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll, _socket.pyd) provided by
the installer.

However, if I instead used the files in
<http://pypgsql.sourceforge.net/misc/python22-win32-ssl.zip>
then all is well.

I don't have much of an understanding of what is happening under
the bonnet here and so can only offer this as a bit of
empirical evidence.

I was using it against a Linux box running RedHat 7.3. Our
production boxes run Solaris - is this still known to be
an issue?
