Hi, Charlie,

Too bad Ola is not working on JRuby-OpenSSL anymore. Unfortunately, these
issues cited are not likely to be the only issues. I tried a few simple ops in
EzCrypto, and nothing worked. So I ran one unit test suite of EzCrypto and
pick a few issues from test failures and put them here.

I am under heavy time pressure to get a site working with direct credit card
payment (hence the authorize net connection issues with HTTPS and the
encryption issues for PCI compliance) due to holiday shopping season. I will
let you know if I can take a shot at JRuby-OpenSSL a few weeks from now.

Cheers,

Hi,

Sorry about this. It's not really a matter of not wanting to work on JRuby-OpenSSL. It's just that there are many things that need attention. OpenSSL is one of the most complicated things we have, and it's by no means perfect. If you feel like taking a stab at improving it, that would be very welcome - but if you're under time pressure maybe the simplest solution would be to use the Java SSL libraries directly instead? Or maybe even use an existing Java library for credit card handling.

Cheers
