I strongly agree. Unfortunately Mozilla doesn't use openssl (or gnutls), it uses nss which is from my understanding somewhat old and crufty. So it would likely be a bit of an undertaking. I would hope someone would step up to bat and add something like this, or port the whole thing to something like openssl. -- Eric Dorland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1024D/16D970C6 097C 4861 9934 27A0 8E1C 2B0A 61E9 8ECF 16D9 70C6 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s++: a-- C+++ UL+++ P++ L++ E++ W++ N+ o K- w+ O?
