What happens after that point is entirely opaque to the user, and it will have to be left to the user to decide if the proxy is trustworthy. The users browser can and SHALL inform him if he has privacy as far as the proxy, but should also make it clear that the privacy cannot be assured to extend any further. I'm sure browser-writers can find a color-code for this. -- 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.
