Kaustav,
There are no security issues in Witango at this time (that I am aware of) and after hosting 5.5 for many years now, I have yet to see a situation occur on my servers where a breach has happened through Witango. Of course, should anything like this be brought to my attention, I will implement a fix ASAP. One other notable item is that I am working to update what dependencies I can for the v6 release. This is done mostly to ensure that bug and security fixes that have been made to the underlying libraries are included in Witango. I am deprecating some minor functionality, such as the @DOCS tag, which can be considered a security issue. I am keeping the “save as run only” (encryption) functionality, and am planning to implement more host-friendly features for site segregation and isolation of log and error data. Version 6 will have a completely reworked @URL functionality. It is now implemented as an Action in the studio and has drag-and-drop access to all aspects of the HTTP protocol.

Also another aspect which you've mentioned is the inability for Witango 5.5 Server on Windows to post via SSL using the @URL metatag. You mentioned that the best way to work around this is to use Win HTTP 5.1. Has this been an additional feature been addressed in the new version? Installing another object to do something so rudimentary is just an inconvenience so we were just wondering. Thanks very much! ____________________________________________________ Kaustav Acharya Web Developer U.
