k, that also proves the point.

All I wanted to do is prove that SSL itself as well as the browsers have 
got nothing to do with this bug (as claimed by Luca). Encapsulation the 
ntop connection with SSL without using ntop's SSL would not display the 
images according to Luca's claim (if it were browsers that are incapable 
of showing the images).

This is precisely what I did. I *am* testing tunneled http:, proving 
that SSL and the browsers are not at fault here and that the bug is in 
ntop's SSL. Maybe this was already clear to you, but not to me (and nor 
to Luca, since I haven't seen any other claim on the list of what the 
problem is).

Quod Erat Demonstrandum. ;-)

I have not tried the man in the middle setup you describe, because it 
don't think it would work with stunnel, since stunnel itself would have 
to encrypt its connection to the server. All it does is strip the SSL 
from the client connection as pass that through to the server.
