Carol, give me some credit :-) I know that FF works well with client certs and apache has no problem with it. I've been coding apache/ssl aware apps since '98...
> What sort of patch are you looking for? Well, there is quite a bit of thinking that needs to happen here, and I am working on something else at the moment. So, these are quick notes - XS installs/deployments will be done in so many different scenarios that we cannot address the promises needed the conventional PKI infrastructure. We need a good strategy to sidestep the PKI requirements of full blown SSL. A few weird schemes come to mind, all nasty :-) - SSL overhead at the network layer is very significant. Network bandwidth and latency on the local link are valuable resources. - SSL CPU overhead at the XS end is moderately significant. And then there is the huge work to chop the Firefox interface into something that fits our UI guidelines (and our screen) - I don't claim to know about that part, but you can imagine that *that* part of the problem is enough to make wise hackers declare that maintaining Browse for the long term is Just Fine. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
