From: Baduk Baduk Date: 2010-05-01T18:44:15+09:00 Subject: Upgrading a socket to an SSLSocket Is it possible to 'upgrade' a normal socket to an SSL socket. I would like to transmit and receive some data in plain text initially, before performing the SSL handshake and start communicating securely, without having to close and create a new socket. Does anyone have an example of this, preferably the more complete the better =) Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
