Hi Larry,
One possible alternative might be to write your own SSL layer based on code
from the Crypto++ library. (
http://www.eskimo.com/~weidai/cryptlib.html).
As an example, MacCVS Pro is using this to implement support for SSH.
Crypto++ appears to be covered by a BSD-style license.
I don't have enough knowledge about SSL to say what level of difficulty this
would impose... the OpenSSL route seems like the easier way to go although
my only experience with GUSI over six years ago was that it had poor
performance characteristics. (That probably has changed since then.)
URLAccess is only useful if you are doing FTP and/or HTTP... and even then
the current version on MacOS X has a number of known bugs. I'd appreciate
hearing what you ultimately decide to use because I may face the same
requirement in the next year.
thanks,
-Chris
