Interesting answer. Thanks! I asked this because I need to write an SSL-aware HTTP client. Whatever, I am now wondering how strong is the pressure to migrate from the classical "https" scheme to the "client requested upgrade" (as I see these as somehow alternatives, as the client explicitely request "https"...). As far as I understand, RFC 2817 (May 2000...) clearly states that things like HTTPS should be deprecated. So I wonder what the "market" says... You say there is no client: am I really going to write the first one that supports this? As apache starts to support it, I guess there might be some other people looking fot it also. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
