Hi,
I have been led to stunnel as the way to get a Flash application to communicate securely with Red5 server.
Red5 doesn't directly support ssl connectivity but using rtmps protocol (rtmp tunnelled via https) clients should be able to connect to Red5 if stunnel
handles the encrypted traffic on port 443 and passes unencrypted communications back and forth to the Red5 on a port it expects to receive rtmp communication..
(refer http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/firewalls_proxy04.html)
The log file I get when I attempt to talk rtmps is shown below

2007.04.25 18:24:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: https finished (0 left)
The stunnel.conf file has the following settings that pertain specifically to this situation
client = yes
[https]
accept = 443
connect = 1935
What I seem to see (according to the logfile) is that an ssl connection is successfully established but no subsequent communication takes place after the connection has been made.
At this point my Flash application doesn't send any messages via the ssl connection which seems to implicate my client as being the source of my problem.
I would appreciate any advice on how I can best investigate this whole situation to resolve the issue.
