[fossil-users] server SSL support

2012-11-13 Thread ST
Hi,

could you, please, implement built-in SSL support in fossil server? This
will make collaboration easier, since there will be no need to
configure/run a separate webserver...

Thank you,
ST

why not put it inside in order not to bother with 3rd party stuff?

 You can use stunnel or other wrappers easily.

To keep the core small?


Kind regards,

Also, safer. TLS is a bag of vulnerabilities waiting for a chance* to 
get out; better to keep it closed, in a separate unprivileged chrooted 
process.


*) chances to get out are greatly improved if combined with
   insanity of OpenSSL API.

A recent survey of apps that provided built-in SSH implementations found that 
nearly 70% included significant security flaws not present in external 
packages.  The main problems were cutpaste errors, and failure to track 
updates to borrowed or hard-linked code.

On the flip side, including encryption may make your app illegal for export to, 
or use within, certain countries.

If a highly-regarded external app will provide the needed encryption, use it!

On the other hand I think that what has been said in this topic should
be in the FAQ of the fossil site. Maybe with a link to an fool proof
how-to.
