Communicator and mozilla recognize 3 MIME types for downloading certs, as explained in http://home.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-cert-download.html#communicator These mime types were intended for http or https servers to use to download the certs directly into the browser. That works with both Communicator and mozilla/N6, AFAIK. With Communicator, you can associate file name extensions with each of those 3 mime types, and then use file:/// URLs to load certs with the appropriate file name extensions into Communicator. That should also work with mozilla, but I don't know if it actually does or not (you could try it and let us know.) http://home.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-cert-download.html also explains the different data/file formats that are acceptable to Communicator and PSM (mozilla/N6) for downloading certs and cert chains. -- Nelson Bolyard Disclaimer: I speak for myself, not for Netscape
