texte = >What you are saying is run BOTH in the same folder???? That way you can >access any file with either http or https. Oh ya, no security problem here.Please explain to me why this is a security issue. SSL encrypts credit card transactions -- its purpose is not to prevent people from getting at sensitive files on your machine. WebSTAR and WebCatalog both have nice provisions for preventing people from displaying raw text files on your hard disk, regardless of whether http or https is used.And of course Jay's point about us not intending to make you buy two copies of our software to run one store is correct -- in those cases where our customers have told use the only reason for running the second copy was to get around some limitations in machine configurations, we let people run a second copy. As long as you don't use it for a completely different site or different set of databases.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
