I find it interesting that using HTTPS allows some security, but it does mean that any perimeter firewall can not inspect the contents of an exchange. This can remove any chance the firewall has to remove malicious content from regular HTTP traffic, and also open up potential for trojans to do what they want to do and so on. So you close one hole (privacy) and possibly end up opening another! Life can be so annoying sometimes :-) Pete. -- ============================================= Pete Cordell Tech-Know-Ware Ltd for XML to C++ data binding visit http://www.tech-know-ware.com/lmx (or http://www.xml2cpp.com) =============================================
