Hi,

it is some time ago, that I did a quick port of OpenSSL to Windows 
Mobile. The official OpenSSL version supported Windows Pocket PC 2003 
only, which is really outdated, so it needed a lot of cleanup.

In this journal entry you can see at least one screenshot of one of the 
SSL examples we have included in the package

Anyway, it is planned that we will clean up the patch and provide it to 
the OpenSSL group as well as to dependency library developers. The 
Windows CE/Mobile version has further dependencies, which needed some 
updates too. In case you want to try out the patch, I can send you a 
copy, but this is neither supported nor guaranteed to work in any way. 
As previously mentioned, it was a spare time hack to get it running somehow.
