Have you done any programming with SSLeay, Eivind? If so, how much overhead does it take to setup SSLeay administratively, to add a service like HTTP to it, and to get an SSLeay-secured socket connection opened? And Jamie, as our newly crowned Lynx expert, do you know if Lynx supports and/or will interoperate with SSL? ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
