Ya got me there... You may want to look into http://gtk.php.net for coding the GUI part of the stand-alone client application. And that MIGHT have some built-in SSL stuff to make this crystal-clear and dead easy... I'm a bit confused between the deamon, the uploading files, and the read-only access to the database, personally... That said, the PostgreSQL documentation probably has pretty clear description of how to do an SSL connection if it can be done, and workarounds if it can't: http://postgresql.org/ You might also consider tunneling all the data, uploads and PostgreSQL through SSH as a sort of Poor Man's VPN deal... -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
