Has anyone ever managed to extend or twice ocamlnet's http_client into making https (http over SSL) calls? There seem to be various plausible ways to make this happen; off the top of my head: (1) Extend ocamlnet properly to support SSL. (2) Fork some sort of external proxy which does http <-> https translation and use the ocamlnet proxy feature. (3) Write a custom Unixqueue.event_system which can do the http <-> https translation, perhaps using Mimram and Baelde's SSL bindings for savonet ( http://savonet.sourceforge.net/ , http://savonet.sourceforge.net/ocamldoc/ocaml-ssl/ ) (4) Forget about ocamlnet and use libcurl/ocurl instead. In the absence of (1), what do people suggest? Rich. -- Richard Jones, CTO Merjis Ltd.
