Yes (technically, the protocol now specified is TLS, the successor to SSL). > 2) In HTTP 1.1 (not 1.0) you can send multiple GETs through the same socket > connection. Can you do the same in HTTPS (1.1)? Naturally. HTTP is transparent through the SSL connection (see http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2818.txt). Whether or not multiple requests can be made depends on the server and client supporting this through the 'Connection' header. > 3) Does anyone know which versions of browsers HTTPS is compatible with > such as IE or Netscape? Hmmm, hard to say. I think both have support https for quite a while. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
