Is that true? I thought the certificate was only used to verify that the server was the actual one it claimed to be. The encryption is something different. It is true that a man-in-the-middle could intercept the initial connection and pretend that it is the desired site. But I don't see how that could happen if someone installed the serve and went directly to it, even from a remote browser. -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
