Peter,

SSL is done 'automagically' by the browser when the HTTPS protocol is used
to connect to a site instead of the HTTP protocol. Generally, 4th generation
browsers (IE 4 and NN 4) have this feature.
Instead of using an URL like http://...., just use https://...
Of course, the server you connect to must support SSL connections.
I know there are some PD SSL proxies for use on your server out there,
but can't tell you more...
