[Gambas-devel] XML and OpenSSL component

[Karol Tomala]

Hello everybody!
I'm new to this list so maybe I'll introduce myself shortly. My name is
Karol Tomala and I'm network administrator at Bakertilly International
Poland. Gambas is nice tool that I'm using to write some programs to
help me manage european-scale corporate network. However seeing no XML
component I began writing classes for it by myself.

I have contacted Benoit and he told me to get in touch with Daniel
Campos regarding the XML component. 

If you'd be interested in taking a look at my classes for XML documents
I'll provide them to you. Currently there are three classes: cXMLDoc,
cXMLTag and cXMLTagOpt. They are written in raw Gambas (no C++
whatsoever). I have tested them extensively using OpenOffice.org
documents and it works. This is very simple XML component and it doesn't
have any parser yet. However it has some nice capabilities for handling
small documents (with tag edition, automatic depth resolution and many
other useful things). It doesn't need any kind of validator because it's
not using any DTD, XPath or such things and class methods are resolving
problems with depth matching, closing/opening tag resolution
automatically. It's very simple to use, however quite powerful. 

If you want to take a look (and maybe make use of it) let me know. I'll
prepare package, clean up some code and finish documentation. 

Also. I have a question regarding OpenSSL component. Does anyone work on
it? I don't mean handling HTTPS traffic in gb.net.curl. I need
server/client sockets with OpenSSL handling so I can create
client/server software using encryption. It's very important for me
because I want to write network administration and monitoring programs
and Gambas would let me do this very quickly and efficiently. If only it
had OpenSSL sockets.

Greetings,
