That requirement isn't going away. As bad as the idea might be in philosophical terms, it is a requirement that must be handled. On the other hand, there is an equally strong, if not stronger, requirement to know for sure that nobody is doing MITM on a session. I think a right-ish solution is to have a error-response that informs the client that proxy-use is mandatory and gives the coordinates for contacting the proxy. The client gets a dialog box and can decide if they want to submit to the proxys policy, or if they want to postpone their activites until they can get end-to-end-privacy. -- 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.
