How to master SSL/https with LiveCode Server ?

[bangkok]

I'm looking for help about SSL / https with LiveCode Server.

I've got an on-rev account and another server where i've installed LiveCode Server.

I've tried to find a kind of "how-to" regarding SSL. It's very quiet on the web . So i'm wondering if one of you have mastered such question.

I understand that :
-with on-rev you can (pay) and ask them to install a SSL certificate. Fair enough.
-but what's the process on your own LiveCode Server ? How does it work ? You can create your own certificate ?

Then, second part of question, on the client side of course :
-do you have an example of LiveCode script that would connect to a LiveCode Server, using SSL/https ?

Thanks.

I really think that we need to create a documentation about this issue. It would help. I promise I will if I can collect some information/tips.

You can ask your hosting company for a SSL certificate for your website.. The LiveCode Server runs on the server so it should not matter if there is SSL or not (kind of like PHP).. Connecting to a LiveCode Server is just making a HTTP/HTTPS connection, so take a look at the open secure socket command, but keep in mind that LiveCode only supports the old SSL and not the newer TLS (I know there was issues with SSL support in the past, not too certain if things have improved since then but given their track record..)
