    Subject: test SSL server with DH support (in US?)

I have a student who has spent the last few weeks summer implementing
parts of an SSL/TLS client. (He ran out of time to write his own
server.)
The SSL server that he has been testing with is RSA oriented
and "apparently" does not support the DSS/DH options to generate a
session key to then use DES for encryption.

He's writing most of his own code (as will my entire class this fall)
so we want to use the DSS (DSA and DH) option.

If he is correct about servers such as the https server at
www.utexas.edu
not accepting the DSS/DH option, then is there an https server available

for testing?

Thanks!
