-------- >The problem you have IMO is that you're posing a requirement >that's beyond the state of the art at least. There is nothing "state of the art" about mixing p2p and e2e trust and security, PTT's and banks have been doing it for centuries. The problem the HTTPbis effort has, is that it's trying to improve on one of the worlds most popular and used protocols[1]. Addressing some of its actual user-perceived shortcomings would be a very smart move from a marketing point of view. Poul-Henning [1] Yes, I'm lumping HTTP and HTTPS here, and that is administratively wrong in IETF, but very common in the rest of the world. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
