I’ve got some code that uses GServer rather heavily, and I’m wondering,  
if I need to use secure sockets, is there any example of how to use  
GServer with and SSL layer?

You could have a look at ruby-ldapserver, which is something I wrote a  
long time ago. It doesn’t actually use GServer as I didn’t know about it  
at the time; it has its own server class with an accept loop. But it  
does wrap OpenSSL so that you can do SSL-on-connect, or SSL upgrade  
within an existing connection.

Important files:

ldap/server/tcpserver.rb  
ldap/server/connection.rb

(and look for @opt[:ssl\_on\_connect])
