Well I am not intending web purchasing since shops are not far away but
for communication with my bank a secure connection is important.
HTTPS is needed and this is now done by Micro$oft since the security
certificate of Netscape is expired and uploading a recent one failed.
Indeed both are FATWARE...
If DOS is still alive...
If LINUX is the future...
than Arachne should alow secured connections!
I have no idea of the difficulties involved into making Arachne dealing
with secured connections, but Arachne should have this feature to stay
competitive.
