A Brief Introduction of the HiPACE SSL Stack and deployment on Worldgroup 3.2

The Secure Sockets Layer protocol provides one means for achieving authentication, integrity, and privacy on the Web.


ActiveHTML is a technology which pumps HTML into a browser. In other words a Worldgroup server translates the browser request and accordingly sends HTML to the browser.

Now when you are specifify a link as http, the browser does a pure http request. If the Worldgroup server dumps a https link, the browser does https.

The HiPACE SSL stack is a DLL running on the worldgroup server listening at the SSL port. The SSL stack will have to be placed in the same engine that processes browser requests and does business logic and translates it into results for the browser(HTML).
