C++ and SSL, can it happen??

Hello,

I want to make a client - server application in C++(console based, NON VC++, but IDE used is VC++ 2005)

I want a SSL based connection between client and server. Can it happen in C++. If Yes, please reply.

I would imagine it is possible, but why are you trying to do it? It seems there would be an easier way to send encrypted data across a network, or changing languages to php or something might be better for your (depending on your app).

There is a project called openssl which supports C programs with all kinds of encryption algorithms and with ssl connections. This works with many different platforms.

Try the following link: http://www.openssl.org/

I got the package from OpenSSL.org, and unzipped it.

But the whole system for installing the libraries is too complex, given in its install.W32 file. It also says that I it will require PERL for its compilation (as I am making project in VC++ 2005).

Cant there be any simple mechanism to get the SSL library to make programs in C++(I am using VC++ just as an IDE, actually making a console C++ application, so not using any libraries of VC++).

Please Reply Soon
