Yes, I have.  However, it didn't work for me.  Though it is possible my
linux box isn't quite correctly configured for it... I'll look into it
further.

Regardless, I still think it would be a good idea if SSL was available
in the luaSocket library.  I'd start working on it myself, but I've got
a number of other projects at the moment, so I can't immediately spare
the time. :)
