True, authentication is a problem. You may want to look at the websocket code, which has solved that problem too. Upgrading to SSL would actually work, if you use the "starttls" socket type and then call nsISSLSocketControl::StartTLS once you want to initiate SSL. You can get the socket control object from nsISocketTransport::GetSecurityInfo. -christian _______________________________________________ dev-tech-network mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-network
