But it shouldn't be *necessary* to go to another language for this.

Postgres:  revOpenDatabase has a "useSSL" for mySQL; it should exist for
postgres--without it, queries are sent in the clear. The lack of this
security is show-stopping bug level, not "feature request."

SSL:  Livecode can open an SSL socket with a remote livecode listener.  But
from discussions last week, apparently the receiving socket will listen to
anything passed to it, reather than requiring it be encryupted.


I need to pass moderate postgres commands in both directions.  There are
(at least) two ways to do this in livecode, but apparently neither is
secure.  If I have to have use something else on the server, I'm just going
to use it, not create a frankenstein . . .
