Well, you really beat it. I guess SSL and username+password were introduced on purpose, whatever it is. In case you're connecting through a proxy: your browser would run HTTP CONNECT method and specify url so the password will likely be stored in the proxy logfile, in clear. Hope this still mean no trouble regards, Vadim ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
