Re: SSL for CL-HTTP
>From the Starnine site:
WebSTAR/SSL Security Toolkit integrates the most complete, cost-effective
secure Web server on
the market with exceptional ease-of-use. WebSTAR/SSL can be added to
any Web site on the
Internet or internal corporate network, enabling companies and
organizations to offer secure Web
transactions and document transfers. The product package includes
WebSTAR/SSL, an
encryption-enabled version of StarNine's industry-leading Web server
for Macintosh, and the
utilities necessary for creating a server digital ID. It's never been
easier to begin serving secure
Web pages directly from your desktop!
I was under the impression that it is an "independent" utility that works
with any server, ie intercepts incoming and outgoing streams, and encodes
it on the fly. But I guess it is a full server that servers _only_ SSL
encoded pages. So in effect, with WebSTAR/SSL, you will be running two
servers on the machine, one serving " http" and the other serving " shttp"
documents.
