Re: Any Implementation of S-HTTP available



I'm not sure if the original question was intentionally left unaddressed or not,
but in any case.....

I too would like to know of anyone working on S-HTTP implementations for
httpd.  We're working on that now, though I can't give any estimated 
completion dates.  I know there was at least one individual working on 
S-HTTP support for the CERN server, but I got the impression that this
work got hung up with lawyers during the CERN -> W3C migration 
(clarification, anyone?).
