Hi Casey,

javax.net.ssl.* is a different beast altogether. I'm afraid that there

Your wish is my command ;)
Hear, hear, thou bringst good news! ;)
I have been working on this very package, right now called Jessie:
<http://metastatic.org/source/jessie/>. The status now is that the
javax.net.ssl classes are implemented and may be complete, but the
actual SSL implementations have only just begun.
The code is targeted at Classpath (it requires classes in the
gnu.java.security package) and will likely use GNU Crypto for its crypto
algs (in which case it will have to wait until we get RSA and DH).
That's O.K. for us, as we're gradually merging in more and more bits
from GNU classpath into kaffe. I would be interested in merging it in
into kaffe's class library, since it's part of Java 1.4 (and Ito needs
it), but I have a few questions:
* What is the license of the code, i.e. is it GPL compatible?
* What are the legal implications, i.e. does it count as crypto
ammunition, or is it legally safe to distribute the code from the
states? I'm not well informaed about the state of things with respect to
US crypto export regulations, so I'd appreciate information on that.
cheers,
