Default Request for Comments: SSL between Login Server, World and Zone

Hi all,

I had this idea and would like to request comments on it.

Firstly, Is this possible? Will this effect communication between the Client and the server? If someone how knows this could give some feedback on this subject it would help a lot.

Why would this be worthy of implementation? Well same reason SSL has been implemented in other software packages? Increased security and such.

I could list an extensive list of Reasons, but in short, the general consensus is the SSL = GOOD. I’m all open for well thought out comments and feedback.

Push comes to shove, I’m more than happy to offer my services in helping get this into the code base.

More information about TLS and SSL can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer

Also, What do people think of making this a configurable option, either to have it enabled or disabled depending on how you feel?
