Hello,
I was wondering if MetaCard had any planned support for the https
protocol, or whether this latest beta version of 2.3 can support https via
sockets. If this is not the case, does anyone have any pointers or other
information regarding ssl and https and how it works, such that it might
be possible to implement such a protocol into MetaCard? If I understand
correctly, web browsers use some sort of encryption scheme to encrypt all
information when sending to secure servers. Is this encryption method
available publicly (obviously the decryption would not be)?
Also, I have tried using sockets to connect to a port 23 (telnet) before,
and this does not seem to function properly. Is there any reason why this
should not work?
BTW, I'm a new MetaCard user, but I have found it to be incredible. The
entire concept of the web is fantastic, but the real-world implementation
leaves so much to be desired. The ease that MetaCard provides in using the
strengths of the internet, while avoiding the nusiance of the web and html
itself is incredible. I hope MetaCard continues to take full advantage of
all the internet has to offer. In a perfect world, the index.html's of the
world could be replaced with index.mc's. :)
Thanks,
ReeD.
