Re: SSL support in PG 7.4

Tom,

In general that may be true. And I didn't into this very much at the
time I did my initial v3 protocol work. But in glancing at the code
just now, it needs to at least correctly handle a v3 style error
response from an ssl handshake request, no? So some work needs to be
done. But it may be the case that if you have a successfull handshake
the code will work as is.

thanks,
