Is there a way to check and see if it _*is*_ on for a given connection? I was looking to hack in zlib support and saw that appears to be already-present support, provided SSL connection security is enabled. -- -- Karl Denninger /The Market Ticker ®/ <http://market-ticker.org; Cuda Systems LLC ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread

That would depend on the OpenSSL defaults, I believe. Pretty sure you can configure that system wide. > Is there a way to check and see if it is on for a given connection? You can use PQgetssl() and then use OpenSSL functions to get the info from there. I'm not sure exactly how, but it would surprise me if it's not possible. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread
