Hi,

I’m creating a ruby jabber client (I know there’s a library for this,  
but I want to do it myself) and need to establish a tls connection to  
the server, however I can’t find a module to do this with. Can anyone  
suggest where to go with this?

Thanks,

K

OpenSSL is built-in. You can probably find examples off in the net  
libraries.

Ahh yes, thanks. Trouble is, I create an SSL socket but not a lot else  
seems to happen even after I send data to a server (I should get  
something back) which makes me wonder if it’s not sending properly. Is  
that the same as TLS? I’m afraid I don’t know much about this and can’t  
find much online.
