Are you sure there is a user eating popcorn? Are there any 0-day exploits in your video system? Is that middle box doing the right thing? The main problem I see with your proposal is that it adds complexity. Everybody using TLS will now have to consider what happens if your option gets enabled and/or how to make sure that it doesn't get enabled. Security is complicated. Making it more complicated is a step in the wrong direction. Does your popcorn eating user need TLS as all? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ TLS mailing list TLS@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tls
