texte = I don't understand what you are asking for; when a browser negotiates with a server, they find the highest level of security they can agreeupon. In other words, if you are using an US export version of Netscape, and the server has a 128 bit server cert (not a Super Cert), the server will communicate with the browser using only 56 bits. Theexport restrictions are going away now anyway; O'Reilly already has a128 bit international version of WebSite available for download. Andif you are really concerned, you can get a Super Cert, which will upgrade the client on the fly to support 128 bits.John PeacockRobert Wade wrote:> > Been to the archives and no luck...> > Does anyone know of a way (preferrably WebCatalog, but open to other> options) for a visitor to a site to test their browser to see if it is> 128 bit?> > I've got several areas of a site that are 128 bit, and I want users to> be able to click a test your browser link or button and get a response> back on their security type, before they attempt to enter these areas.> > Thank You,> > Robert Wade> CABIN6 Design> > |[ //\ ||} || ||\| V|> > robert@cabin6.com> > -------------------------------------------------------------> This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to> the mailing list
