[Cryptography Team] Re: [ANN] Working SSL In Squeak

[Robert Withers]

Hi all,

Let me add a few things to Ron's announcement.  First off I added a  
HttpsUrl class and support to retrieve pages with these Urls.  So you  
can do the following:

'https://www.fidelity.com' asUrl retrieveContents.

I tried to add support for a POST command, but I couldn't really test  
it because I couldn't find a WebBrowser.  Do we still have one?  I  
wanted to do my online banking in squeak! :-)

Second, without a patch the Monticello configurations won't work.   
Let me list the packages needed from the Cryptography repository.   
Load, in order:

CryptographyBase
Cryptography-Core
Cryptography-DES
Cryptography-DSA
Cryptography-ElGamal
Cryptography-RSA
Cryptography-SHA1
Cryptography-RC4
Cryptography-MD5
Cryptography-ASN1
Cryptography-X509
Cryptography-SSL


Lastly. you will need a DESPlugin, which you can find here: http:// 
minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2410, including an updated one for Linux.

cheers,
Robert
