I've finally gotten around to writing some examples :-)

They aren't many, but at least it's something. If you write any, feel free to
send them to me and I will add themn.


certgen.py - Certificate generation module
==========================================

Example module with three functions:
  createKeyPair     - Create a public/private key pair
  createCertRequest - Create a certificate request
  createCertificate - Create a certificate given a cert request
In fact, I created the certificates and keys in the 'simple' directory with
the script mk_simple_certs.py


simple - Simple client/server example
=====================================

Start the server with
    python server.py PORT
and start clients with
    python client.py HOST PORT

The server is a simple echo server, anything a client sends, it sends back.


proxy.py - Example of an SSL-enabled proxy
==========================================

The proxy example demonstrate how to use set_connect_state to start
talking SSL over an already connected socket.

Usage: python proxy.py server[:port] proxy[:port]

SecureXMLRPCServer.py - SSL-enabled version of SimpleXMLRPCServer
=================================================================

This acts exactly like SimpleXMLRPCServer from the standard python library,
but uses secure connections. The technique and classes should work for any
SocketServer style server. However, the code has not been extensively tested.
