What Does SSL Stand For? Update This page was written tongue-in-cheek. Due to the number of Google hits that I have gotten on this page, I have posted a serious answer to the same question. Have you ever had the (ahem!) pleasure of attempting to debug a problem in a web application that only occurs when you use the application over an SSL connection? Or for that matter, debugging an aspplication that uses WinHTTP or Java networking classes to make an SSL connection to a web server to retrieve some information? If so, I suspect you may have your own ideas for what SSL really means. Here are a few of mine: - Satanic Security Lock
- Secure Software Lunacy
- Spontaneous Sanity Loss
- Server Sucks Lemons
I could go on, but that would spoil the fun for you. What are your suggestions?
I mention this, by the way, because I have found that it is impossible to get WinHTTP to make an SSL connection to a Domino 5.08 server. The COM object's Send method times out waiting for a response from the server. It seems to work fine with Domino 5.09 and up.
