Perhaps he don't need encryption too :) I am seting up a web folder on my web server with mod_dav. But the firewall of my company is soo old (well no comment :))that he doesn't reconize some of the extension of then HTTP 1.1 protocol needed by mod_dav. He react to this by blocking theses request rendering my web folder unuseable. My only work around, is to put my folder in a ssl channel to go through the firewall letting him pass because he can't control what's going on :) I just need the ssl channel. I don't bother about the encryption (nothing would be enough as long as the firewall don't try to block me) and less about of the authentification :)
