I've now got an HTTPS server (more importantly, one built on asyncore and SocketServer and BaseHTTPServer), running in the test suite. Also, I think that, for the moment, I'm going to take ssl.ssl_shutdown() out of the library. The state machine implemented at the GoogleSprint really only does the client side of SSL_shutdown(); it will take a bit more work for the server side. I'll check this in this weekend, and update the 2.3-compatible package. Bill
