How are most people implementing client-side SSL connections to their
servers? Are they all using OpenSSL (the Macintosh version of which is
receiving very little support and is therefore out of date and won't
compile), or is there some other Ap

We originally used URL Access for our HTTPS code on OS9 and the built-in
OpenSSL on OS X. Now we are using OpenSSL 0.9.6c for both OS 9 and OS X
builds. It compiles fine with CodeWarrior on OS9; I think all I had to
do was update some aliases in include/openssl/ so OpenSSL could find its
headers.
Part two of this question: If OpenSSL is the solution, is GUSI also
required or is that only required for OS 9 because there is no socket
API on 9?
We are using OpenSSL with our own socket abstraction. You can interface
your TCP code with OpenSSL by writing your own BIO. You can do this by
looking at the code in crypto/bio/bss_sock.c.
