Thanks, I knew it did that for compression. Hadn't thought it might also apply to encryption. I can use that. That said, I would still like to know if there is a specific info item I can use as well.

Re: [Firebird-devel] Detecting connection is using wire encryption
Too fast. The encrypted connection will have 'C' there and I'm getting that string from isc_info_firebird_version. -- Mgr.

[Firebird-devel] Detecting connection is using wire encryption
Is there a way to programmatically detect a connection is using wire encryption (eg in a monitoring table or the service API)?
