HTTP server security

Hi All

Has anyone given thought to how an http mbed server could be secured if it is exposed to the outside world?  Initial thought would be basic .htacess style security but encryption would clearly be better.  However, I have no idea how either of these could be done - any thoughts / links would be appreciated.

I did a search but couldn't find this topic covered, possibly because the HTTP server code still seems to be in early development.

I thought a little bit about it. User/password maybe sufficient, but HTTPServer should be expanded. For more demanding needs maybe SSL can be integrated on top of LWIP. For example, see http://www.polarssl.org/.
