There are a variety of SSL packages out there.

All one needs to do is send and receive a couple of headers and
encode/decode the body as necessary.

Thus, a foreign function interface and an encapsulating/buffering stream would
do the trick.

There are other SSL implementations out there. I might start by looking
at the SSL implementation for Apache (http://www.apache.org/)

An issue with SSL is reliance on the RSA ref package. These raise licensing
issues that require commerical solutions.
