He don't know me too well. Do he ??? <g> Once we "get the ball rolling"..... I will be looking very closely into the "open SSL" project. Lynx for DOS has it already. There's no reason why we can't add it to Arachne. I have already added the HTTPS protocol to Arachne. The Https2Http option allows us to automattically try HTTP access instead of HTTPS. Many sites which used to "lock us out" can now be accessed in unsecure mode. JS will be much tougher. So don't be looking for anything big on that front for at least another year. > Arachne is owned and controlled by Michael Polak.

IMO, Some of them are quite "major". ;-) > I would be happy to be contradicted by more informed sources--but > that's my understanding of the situation.
