texte = I don't understand what you are asking for; when a browser negotiates with a server, they find the highest level of security they can agree upon. In other words, if you are using an US export version of Netscape, and the server has a 128 bit server cert (not a Super Cert), the server will communicate with the browser using only 56 bits. The export restrictions are going away now anyway; O'Reilly already has a 128 bit international version of WebSite available for download. And if you are really concerned, you can get a Super Cert, which will upgrade the client on the fly to support 128 bits.John PeacockRobert Wade wrote: > > Been to the archives and no luck... > > Does anyone know of a way (preferrably WebCatalog, but open to other > options) for a visitor to a site to test their browser to see if it is > 128 bit? > > I've got several areas of a site that are 128 bit, and I want users to > be able to click a test your browser link or button and get a response > back on their security type, before they attempt to enter these areas. > > Thank You, > > Robert Wade > CABIN6 Design > > |[ //\ ||} || ||\| V| > > robert@cabin6.com > > ------------------------------------------------------------- > This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to > the mailing list
