SSL Sockets, HTTP Client support libraries for FD available

I've added some new libraries to my Dylan site:

double-ssl-sockets
  Provides support for SSL sockets by extending the Functional
  Developer network library. Uses OpenSSL. Demonstrates dynamic
  linking to DLL's using the c-ffi.

double-proxy-sockets
  Updated to work with the SSL socket support. Allows use of normal
  sockets and SSL sockets from behind a supported firewall.

make-x-sockets
  The SSL socket support requires the library x-sockets. This is an
  modification to the Functional Developer sockets library to open
  some of the protocols which were previously sealed. The FD sockets
  library is not open source so make-x-sockets is an application that
  copies the source code for the sockets library on a FD installation
  to another directory and applies patches and renames it to
  x-sockets. The resulting library can be compiled and used for the
  SSL socket support, etc. Demonstrates the DUIM wizard
  classes. Patches to the network library distrbuted with the
  permission of Functional Objects. Hopefully a similar opening of the
  protocols will be made to the official Functional Objects network
  library in the future.

double-http-client
  Simple HTTP client support. Currently allows retrieval of simple web
  pages. Included mainly to demonstrate the SSL socket and proxy
  support. If *default-proxy-server* is set correctly then the web
  page retrieval will work through a firewall.

collection-extensions
  The collection-extensions library from Gwydion Dylan with a .lid
  file that can be used to compile it with Functional Developer.

All available at http://www.double.co.nz/dylan.

Hope they prove useful to others! 

Chris.
