stop trying to fix social problems with code SSL can do two things: 1) provide site-to-site encryption 2) make a lot of money for cert-signing organizations surf already does the first one. if you need it to do the second one, use a different browser, or else write a wrapper for surf that handles certificate verification. -- # Kurt H Maier
