One more update: There is now an additional feature in NaviServer to allow a site admin to add extra reply header fields with little effort. The nssock and nsssl driver accept new a parameter extraheaders which contains an attribute/value list of extra reply header fields. By using e.g.

     ns_section    ns/server/${servername}/module/nsssl
     ...
     ns_param      extraheaders { Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; 
includeSubDomains"}
     ...

one can activate HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for https connections. With this activated,
one can obtain an "A+" rating with NaviServer + ssl from Qualys SSL Labs.

all the best

Dear Friends,

the bitbucket repository contains a new version of the nsssl module of NaviServer that makes it easier to obtain from Qualys SSL Labs an "A" rating with actual versions
of openssl by supporting more ciphers.

All the best

New in Version 0.5:
- Support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography
   (such as Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH))
