Hi,
Well, as I promised to test, short report is here. PolarSSL 'ssl_server'
quite works under eCos (tested on Linux synthetic target).
The encrypted connections with the server were established using Mozilla
Firefox 3.6, 4.0 beta; Google Chrome 8.0 beta; w3m/0.5.2. I'm sorry, I
have not IEs.
I would mention also that you can test PolarSSL executables are built
for your hosts (Lunux or Windows).
On my look port PolarSSL to eCos would be straightforward, but, now
I have some doubts about it's license (all sources point on GPL only).
Sergei
