Before G-WAN releases it SSL/TLS support, you can use Stunnel which will relay SSL/TLS connections to G-WAN.

There's also another way to support SSL/TLS that G-WAN v3.10+ will offer: protocol handlers.

These handlers are dedicated to the task of supporting new protocols, like POP3, SMTP, LDAP, XMPP.

Instead of hard-coding al the protocols requested by our G-WAN users, we have found that it would be far better to let people implement what they actually need. We can help them to do that, but this is way to proceed is no longer blocking anyone - on either side.

So, to answer to your question, you will be able to use OpenSSL or GNU-TLS to add SSL/TLS support to G-WAN.

Of course, G-WAN will not be liable for the bugs in either the handlers or the SSL libraries.

I have been following G-WAN project for more than a year now.

The author of G-WAN has already built the https feature but have not released it yet. (For security reason since there's no good tool to fully test https.)

The next version will be released this month. It's a popular request so let's hope that the new version will have https.

  • But http://gwan.ch/archives/gwan_linux.pdf says that HTTPS is a supported protocol. (page 9) – mivi Oct 09 '12 at 18:39
  • The author already built the feature but doesn't doesn't show how to use it since its not fully tested yet when the last version is released. I suggest you wait for the next version. (It will be released this month) – Richard Heath Oct 09 '12 at 20:28
