I did so for my own server, which is an http web service:

you install and setup an apache server which has ssl, reverse proxy, 
and redirection modules enabled.

then you accept the connections from the ssl port (apache silently 
handles the decryption) and redirect all traffic to your cheyenne 
server.

are these automatically installed?

they are all part of the standard apache distro... but you have so 
edit the config file to enable them

I am not an apache expert, I had the setups done for me, but it works 
out  :-)

the setups where very basic though... 4-5 lines, basically setting 
up the ports, and urls ... not much wizardry.

Ok.  I've already downloaded this vmware ssl appliance ... but good 
to know now.

using the dynamic linking, means you don't have to understand the 
apache compilation part... so its pretty easy to setup.

Apache to run Cheyenne? Odd.

i'd rather say apache is just a slave in this setup

it just acts as a signal converter

Ok here's a riddle..  When is a slave a master?

When he reaches Zen

When he's a middle manager?

Graham: you should look at http://www.stunnel.org/to add SSL support 
to Cheyenne.

It's a command-line tool acting as a SSL daemon frontend for any 
server requiring SSL decryption.

I had a go .. but couldn't get it to work.

I just intalled the windows version, it works very well. I just had 
to edit the stunnel.conf file to uncomment the HTTPS config options.

Ok, I might have to have another attempt.

yes... must agree with Doc. It's very easy, just download the latest 
precompiled version (I have 4.20) install, uncomment the https as 
doc said and than do:
      stunnel.exe -install
to install it as service.. and:
      stunnel.exe -start
to start it.

What I would like to know, is if I can use it to get https urls from 
Rebol, not just to encrypt my server?

Didn't tried that, but there's a client mode in stunnel.

Is this what you did ?  http://www.stunnel.org/examples/https_windows.html

which is what I tried last year and could not get working.

That's the hard way ! :-)

Just download and install the precompiled version : http://www.stunnel.org/download/stunnel/win32/stunnel-4.20-installer.exe

Then Start => Programs => STunnel => Edit stunnel.conf : uncomment 
the [https] section, then save it.

Wow .. so easy?

Then STunnel => Run STunnel ...and that's all. Takes 2 mn, including 
the download time.

Ok. Definitely will try it .. why do they have a how to that's so 
difficult ??

They did a good job with stunnel's installer, fast and easy to use.

What bug database are you using now?

The How-To you point us at, is only useful if you want to compile 
stunnel sources for the windows version instead of downloading the 
precompiled binary.

You said that Mantis was much better than Trac :)

Better : sure, reliable : I'm not that sure.

Anyway, I'm going to make a Mantis lightweight clone soon, when the 
new Cheyenne version will be ready.

That would make a good test application for the new RSP session engine.

How's progress on session handling?

snap!

I want to write a little application that manages hylafax incoming 
faxes

Specifications are written, I should be able to implement it this 
week. Then I'll need at least a week to test and tune.

Sounds like good progress then.

Sure, Cheyenne is the foundation tool for all our web projects (customer 
or internal projects). So I have to make as good (means here fast 
and reliable) as possible.

make <it>

Have you got an ftp client for uniserve?

ooops .. wrong channel.

noob question .. think i've asked it before .. where should one startup 
uniserve on a linux system?  (suse10) ?

I'm not sure to understand your question Graham. Do you mean how 
to start Uniserve automatically at boot time on Linux ?

yes.
