OK, I'm guessing that I'm missing something here....

The Frontier::RPC2 module (more specifically, Frontier::Daemon) includes a simple webserver (using HTTP::Daemon) which, as far as I can tell doesn't support SSL.

For those not familiar with the Frontier::RPC2 modulles, the same command that converts the data into XML, also sends it out.. likewise, at the other end, the same process that takes the data in, also gets it out of XML, so it can be used.

So, based on this, I don't see how Merlyns suggestion works..... (I'm guessing that it doesn't, but as I have far more respect for merlyns knowledge than my own, I'd not be surprised to be proven wrong here....)

My guess, having thought further on this, (and based on the assumption that merlyns suggestion is somehow, not workable) is that to get what I want, I'll have to make alterations/additions to the Frontier::??? modules, so they support some sort of encryption of the XML data objects.

Of course, a more detailed explanation of merlyns answer would suit me down to the ground, if anyone feels like using small enough words...... *grin*
