I'm using a Do-More BRX to push data to a shared server via HTTP Post, and receive commands from the server in the response. It's not a critical application, but I'd like to upgrade to HTTPS. Unfortunately TLS handshaking on the BRX is slow; the total transaction time (request sent to response received) is in the 8-14 second range with HTTPS, versus about 1 second with HTTP.
So I'm wondering, does anyone make a "black box" gateway/adapter/router/whatever that would sit between the PLC and the network, transparently converting outgoing HTTP requests to HTTPS, and the reverse for responses?
