If the appliction could do on-the-fly HTTPS filtering it would solve our problem. Not to metion how much trouble non-tech end-users will have grapsing the concept of HTTP vs. HTTPS and their related anonymity/security issues. Even more difficult for most end-users will be configuring Privoxy correctly; imagine if the end-user does not read/comprehend English well. I believe proxomitron [ ;-) ] at one time had an on-the-fly decryption>scrubbing>encryption feature for HTTPS ingress/egress traffic on the to-do list. This feature was never implimented and there was concern about the security of on-the-fly decryption>scrubbing>encryption of HTTPS traffic by any proxy appliction. Phillip Zimmermann just released his new VoIP encryption program called "Zfone". Zfone encrypts/decrypts VoIP traffic on-the-fly; much as I envision the proxy appliction would work with HTTPS traffic. Zfone captures and encrypts the VoIP egress traffic after it leaves the VoIP appliction. Zfone then captuers and decrypts the VoIP ingress traffic before it reaches the VoIP appliction. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
