Note that you can configure some HTTPS servers not to use RSA or RC4
ciphers, in which case you won't need that native code to get both
client and server to support some common cipher suite. Recent
versions of Apache, for example, using SSLeay (Stronghold, etc).

The interesting flavors have names like SSL_DHE_DSS_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA;
the "DHE_DSS" bit will always be there, DES might be DES40 or (much
slower) 3DES_EDE instead.
