I disagree. What HTTP lacks is a clear distinction between "envelope" and "body" the way SMTP and NNTP have it. HTTP/2.0 would enable a lot more sites to run with cryptographic security, if there were an unprotected envelope for load-balancers to act on. I also think it should be possible to mix protected and unprotected requests on the same TCP session. -- 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.
