I have the DXSock & Indy components.

I have build a database server that also respond to http requests.  Works
great.

I would like the communication between the web browser and my server to be
secure (encrypted).  Is there a way to implement SSL just to encrypt the
communication and nothing else ?  In other words I don't want the SSL
certificate/key/etc. hassles but I want any browser (that support SSL) to
work without any modification on my part.  I don't need to validate the
server.

Thank you for your time.

Indy components should server you quite well.

I agree, but how do I do this.

No.

Server validation is part of SSL that you can't skip (and for very good
reason).

You have to use certificates on server side. On the client side they are not
mandatory.
There are SSL samples in Indy (not all distributions). There is a SSL client
sample and SSL server sample.
If they are not in the Indy distribution, let me know I will put them on
Intelicom's page.
