Well, I thought about this, because I was trying to build something like it.
A web server, and a database server, seperated! So I thought, if Postgres
accepts hostssl connections (if compiled with ssl support), why doesn't PHP
use this powerfull feature?
Would it be difficult to build a pg_connectssl function in PHP that would do
this?
