imap/ssl

[Marko]

Hi,

I was just wondering if there is a way to connect to the secure imap
server (port 993) without having --with-imap-ssl option turned on. I
have --with-imap and --with-openssl and recompiling php is not an option
(I'm not the server owner). Any suggestions/links are appreciated.

Thanks,

Marko

Re: imap/ssl

yes and no, depends on your skill level, you could just open a socket and
handle the data yourself, so you would have to write your own mail functions

Re: imap/ssl

oh yea, another way is to write a tunnel server that listens on port x and
connects to port 993 on real server, thus allowing you to use std imap
functions, you can write the tunnel server in php

Re: imap/ssl

That is what I feared. Essentially, what you're saying is "no way". :) I
do have the skill, but not the time. Anyone know of any useful links?

Thanks CountScubula,

Marko

Re: imap/ssl

another funky was is to write the script on another server that supports it,
and make calls to that script from the client server.
