I agree. What about https ?
The files could be either in a separate https directory (logically more
correct) or reside in the http directory in order to minimize
../../../../dir/dir/dir/something url rewriting (since I suppose those
pages could share lots of inline pics and other links with the http
structure). 

Speaking of https, I got exactly one report (in private mail) of
successfully testing of the windows ssl enabled binary, nothing else.

Could you commit the patch as
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00142.html ?
The changes in gen_sslfunc.c could be needed anyway for other operating
systems (the are mirrored from similar code in sysdep.h and http.c,
although I just noticed a inconditional include of time.h in
ftpparse.c), while the changes in the VC makefile are as default
commented out.
