I would also be interested in such a library.

Hello,

> Are there any libraries available for ssl-connections using ocaml?

I have made small & quick bindings to ssl to be able to use ssl 
encryption with unix sockets. I am willing to improve it, just tell me 
if you need some (or much) more functions.

The library is named ocaml-ssl and you can find it here :

Samuel.

We use openssl in MetaPRL and have implemented an appropriate OCaml API. 
  I have extracted the SSL-specific files and placed them in 
http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~jyh/ssl.  This can get you started, but it 
may be a bit more than what you want--it also includes buffered IO and a 
printf function.  You can strip the buffered IO code if you want just a 
plain socket interface.

Thanks to both of you.  I will try it out.

A am an amateur programmer and I want to develop a tool to
authenticate against our firewall.

Hi,

The context creation functions are already parametrized by the version 
of the protocol to use (SSL v2, v3, v2/3, TLS v1) in the CVS plus a few 
bug corrections. You might want to check it out. There are a few more 
things that I'd like to integrate and I'll make a new release then.
Thanks for the fedback.

Regards,

Samuel.
