SSL

[ivanb]

Hi.

Is it possible to use SSL with BERT RPC?

Is there any example for Ruby?

I don't think any of the BERTRPC clients or servers have built in SSL
support but something like stunnel should work:

http://www.stunnel.org/

You'd need to run a separate stunnel daemon on both the client and
server but it's a fairly simple/reliable process once its up and
running.

Check out the generic "using stunnel on both client and server when
neither speaks SSL" example here:

http://www.stunnel.org/examples/generic_tunnel.html

Thanks,

TLS transport for BERT is straightforward with bertrem because it just
relies on EM: http://github.com/b/bertrem

If you add start_tls to the post_init method in the client (or just
call start_tls on the connection object) you should be on your way
(untested and I will add it properly in an upcoming release).
