James Bowes recently added M2Crypto support to urlgrabber. It's in the most recent version, 3.1.0. However, it requires that M2Crypto be available. Also, support doesn't currently exist at the yum level, but I'm betting if you ask nicely, that could be made to happen. It's possible that patches and/or plugins already exist to do it, but I don't know about that. -Michael -- Michael D.
