I thought you might say something like that, but then wouldn't the same apply to any secured website? I log into numerous forums and other websites every day. Most of the forums are not ssl protected. ipcop on the other hand is always ssl protected, any request to port 81 is redirected to https on port 445. Probably something for the ipcop email list. > -- > CS > > -- Nick Rout
