SSL library for Ada?

SSL library for Ada?

[Gerd]

Hi,

I want write a small prog that checks my mail account for some
specific content. It works already quite good when I use a not
encrypted (TCP-)connection. But now, I would like to try the same
thing over SSL.

Is there an SSL library for Ada, or are any there bindings to an open
source SSL-library written in other language?

Thanks.

AXMPP project contains binding for GNU TLS library, see

This same question and answer has been brought up multiple times in the past
few months, perhaps it's time for somebody to separate out the GNU TLS bindings
into a standalone library and package it up for Debian, etc :)

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure - it looks like a UNIX project, I
would need it for Windows. Would it work there, too?

I use it on Windows XP 32-bit and known that it works on Windows 7,
the only issue is to add linker option to find DLL files.

Why should linker know them?

GNU TLS is installed by own setup program and place DLL files
"somewhere" in the directory tree, AXMPP need to know path to this
directory.

I meant that linker might need the import library, not the DLL.
