RE: Use of deprecated APIs

I know this message was originally sent a long time ago, but I was wondering
if you could elaborate on why Jigsaw-SSLs mapping into Jigsaw is no longer
supported.

Also, are there any talks of developing an Open Source SSL component into
Jigsaw? 

Thank you,
George

Unfortunately, their mapping into Jigsaw is no longer supported, so if
they change their SSL API, you won't be able to upgrade.
But if someone would contribute integrating JSSE/JCE it would be more that
nice and of course part of upcoming releases :)

There is already another HttpConnection, HttpMuxConnection, done to test
MUX in the HTTP-NG framework, you just have to make Http<foo>Server and
Http<foo>Connection and set org.w3c.www.protocol.http.server to the class
of your server (default is HttpBasicServer).
For the server side, it would be a subclass of httpd.java like what IAIK
people did.
Hope this helps,
