SSL with SimpleServer - how can I be sure it works?

[Wolfgang Orth]

Hello all,

in the past days I have played a bit with SSL for a Webserver and it seems to work fine so far. 

My intention is to use SSL also with a SimpleServer. But while HTTPS and the padlock is shown when using SSL ona webserver there seems no visible indicator to ensure me that it works.

Do I simple have to trust because if it is not SSL then it would not work at all, so if it works its secure.... or is there no possibility to proof SSL being at work?

thx
Wolfgang

You can assume that if it's using the https protocol, then it is working.

Wolfgang,

Put a sniffer on the line (I use WireShark) to see what is sent between the programs.  If you cannot read any of the data, it's encrypted.
