user6688: So I have setup bitcoind -daemon on a server. On plain HTTP, I can connect to the server from my machine and start mining with poclbm.py (at a slow rate but I am preparing my environment before upgrading H/W)
Then I have created the self-signed certificate successfully, and from a remote machine I can get the SSL certificate validation using openssl s_client command. I had trouble with the openssl s_client command when not including the
rpcsslciphers=TLSv1+HIGH:!SSLv2:!aNULL:!eNULL:!AH:!3DES:@STRENGTH

part in the conf, but after adding it it as ok.
Then added option rpcssl=1 in bitcoin.conf.
Now I get a Failure to subscribe followed by IO errors - 1, tolerance 2.
Is there anything else to check? Running poclbm with -verbose doesn't show more output.

user6688: After looking at the (quite old) source code of poclbm, there is a commented line that creates the SSL connection. Not sure it is the reason but I guess it doesn't support HTTPS in its last version.
I changed to DiabloMiner (I had to add my self-signed certificate using the InstallCert.java tool)
I can now mine over HTTPS. Next step is a pool...
