Re: SSL / Port 443 / HTTPAPI

[Colin Chapman <chapperooni@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott, thanks for your reply - I've now had a chance to read the readme doc and I'm still confused

We've already got a certificate store and certs which we use for telnet-ssl

We would need to exchange certs with the external webserver.

How would we go about that ? 

Cheers,

Colin
