SSL reverse proxy for legacy application binary transfers on sockets

Question

Hello

I'm struggling to find a reverse proxy http->https like for binary sockets.

There is a Pound server which offers this kind of SSL tunneling but just for the http protocol. Basically I work on 4'th layer TCP/IP with binary data. Between flex/AIR client and c++ server. I can wrap sockets in C++ without problems, but this is a problem for flex side.

Any advice welcomed.

Answer 1

Maybe you're looking for Stunnel?

Answer 2

Here is how I use stunnel:

sudo stunnel3 -c -f -d 127.0.01:4443 -r secureServer:443

After running the above command clients that don't support SSL can connected to port 4443 on my local host. This connection is then tunneled over SSL to secureServer.
