Well, this all very new to Oracle. Its going to take them some time to learn.
I've spoken to Oracle's Internet Product manager and she told me that Oracle
hopes to release (commercial) their own Web interface solution this fall. In
fact, all the Oracle product managers at ECO seemed to stress how committed
Oracle Management is to promoting Internet solutions. Still, I can't even
beta test Oracle's WWW-TAR database interface without joining Oracle Compuserve
forum. As I said, it takes time for them to learn the new ways.

Ok, when are we going to see a free implementation of Secure web server? I
can't afford Netscape's and I shouldn't to pay big $$$ to them. We have PGP
which already provides encryption and authentication. I'm not ready to do
real Oracle transactions, until I see real Client/Server security for the
web.
