Yes, and I'd like to add this to my server anyhow.  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?  ;^)
