SSL with "accept" command?

[Richard Gaskin]

I know it's a long shot, but I wonder if perhaps any of the goodies in 
the next network externals have anything that can help with this request:
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16871

That's for the equivalent of something like:

   accept secure connections on port <portNumber>

That syntax is apparently valid in as much as it doesn't throw an error, 
but according to comment #9 there it doesn't currently do anything.

If there's nothing currently in the hopper for this, anyone here have a 
feel for how much effort would be involved in making that happen?

FWIW the Dictionary in v8.1 includes a "secure socket" command, 
apparently introduced in v6.6 but somehow I'd missed it.  Might there be 
a way a socket server could use that to secure a socket connection 
opened by a client?
