# Initializationg of SSL Transport As https Access Scheme

This module sets up the SSL transport for handling the `https` URI access scheme. In fact the SSL module itself is completely independent and could as well be negotiated instead of getting a new URI scheme.

The module is contributed by Olga Antropova

    #ifndef _HTSSLHTTPS_H
    #define _HTSSLHTTPS_H

The initialization function initialies the SSL transports by doing the following:

- Setting up a SSL application context
- Registering the transport in the libwww HTTransport Manager
- Registering the HTTP protocol module as a protocol handler in the libwww HTProtocol Manager for the `https:` access scheme
- Registering a set of filters for handling HTTP caching, redirection, and authentication

The termination function removes the application context, unregisteres the SSL transport in the libwww HTTransport Manager, and unregisteres the other things set up when initializing the SSL transport

    #ifndef SSL_PORT
    #define SSL_PORT        443
