awful-ssl

Description

SSL support for awful.

This extension provides a single procedure (enable-ssl) which enables SSL support for awful.

Note: awful-ssl and the openssl egg version 1.6.1 don't play well together. If you see an error message like:

 primordial: Connection handshake error: "argument is not a port"

when running awful in development mode, you probably have openssl 1.6.1 installed. Version 1.5.1 of openssl is known to work fine. You can install that specific version with:

 $ chicken-install openssl:1.5.1
