Re: [users@httpd] How does client decrypt data in a HTTPS-based WebDAV transfer

Thanks Tom.. Ahh.. that makes it even more efficient; since the symmetric key is the only one required for encryption/decryption. Moreover, this symmetric key is only known to the client and the server. Thanks Thanks and Regards, Ajay On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 2:52 PM, Tom Evans wrote: > O

Hi all. I have managed to get a HTTPS-based WebDAV server up and running. However, I have a conceptual query (sorry if I sound an absolute idiot) :: ## When we configure "
