In one of our applications, we're already using a TIdHTTP to post a message to a server and get a reply. Now we have an app that needs to do the same thing, but using SSL. I'm pretty sure Indy can handle that, since it has SSL components, but the help file doesn't say how to use those components, and none of the demo programs I have use them. Does anyone have an example of how to add SSL when using IdHTTP->Post? Indy has two SSL components: TIdServerIOHandlerSSL and TIdSSLIOHandlerSocket. I'm assuming that since I'm on the client side of the connection that I would just use TIdSSLIOHandlerSocket. Is that right? And then sometime before the call to Post() I would set: IdHTTP1->IOHandler = IdSSLIOHandlerSocket1; Besides that, I'm lost on what else to do with it. The help file just has placeholder pages with one-word descriptions like "property PassThrough Description PassThrough" or "property SSLOptions Description SSLOptions". What properties do I need to set and what functions (if any) do I need to call? (using BCB6 and Indy9)
