Actually, SSL is almost trivial on Windows, particularly when you compare it 
with the OpenSSL implementation.  See e.g., 
http://www.codeproject.com/internet/sslsocket.asp.  Doing SSL within the 
context of IOCompletion ports is a bit more complicated, which this sample 
doesn't deal with.  But presumable you have already cracked that nut with 
your OpenSSL implementation.  I have just begun reviewing your object model. 
I am trying to identify which interface implementations I need to replace. 
I thought perhaps you could help me in that regard.  Really, once the ssl 
implementation should be largely transparent once the ssl socket object has 
been constructed.

Regards,

George.
