IPv6 and HTTPS (Re: release candidate for dillo-3.0.2)

I doubt it's worth making the current experimental HTTPS plugin IPv6 ready. We will need a more robust HTTPS solution at some point. Cheers, Johannes
Why not just reuse the existing HTTP code? *cough* http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/patches/07-dfcntl.diff http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/patches/08-dsock.diff http://dillo-win32.sourceforge.net/patches/17-https.diff Just add some warning dialogs and you've got everything the plugin offers, plus greater efficiency, code reuse, IPv6, etc. (Not to mention, it's thoroughly tested and quite stable on Linux, BSD, that other OS with 99% market share, etc. I use it myself every day.) Anyway, all my code's still there if you're interested. Cheers, ~Benjamin

Thanks for the offer. Currently the patches don't seem to apply cleanly and they also mix in WIN32 compatibility code. So integration work is needed and also an in depth review of the certificate handling. Cheers, Johannes
