Concerning httpS: There is a possibility that arachane can use a proxy server that I used to solve a similar problem at work. Go to the web page: wall.etl.go.jp/delegate/ssl/ and you will read about a proxy server called delegate that is free and under current development, along with a companion filter called sslway.exe. wall.etl.go.jp/delegate/ To get links to download both delegate and sslway. Delegate is a proxy server that can run on your client PC as a TSR. After connecting to your ISP, arachane should be able to send the socket level data it usually sends out the point to your own computer, as a proxy server. Delegate then takes it in, filters it in the way you tell it to, in this case - encryptes and decripts https requests, and sends them off to and from their internet destinations. At work I used this software to give SSL 128 encryption capability to an internet program that did not have it (that only accepted http requests, etc.). I ran delegate in a dos box under win 95 and ran the application in win 95. However, I do not think delegate cares about windows. If this works, it is an easy way to add https and SSL encryption to arachne, and buy all those internet goodies that require a secure connection. Give it a try and let us all know. Maybe Ill do it, but I dont buy on the internet.
