Apache on MPE has been serving me well for over a year now, so I am glad to
see HP officially embracing it. But I am dismayed, even disgusted to hear
nothing more than hemming and hawing about SSL. HP says they aren't
convinced customers really want it, but I thought that was one of the main
reasons for their original commitment to the Netscape port in the wake of
the Open Market dump-off.
Who would be the best person to contact at HP to pound in the affirmation
that customers *do* want SSL on MPE? I have delayed deployment of a major
application in hopes that FastTrack would be delivered and make it
possible. MPE is our mission-critical platform, and I don't want to trust
a security issue like SSL to anything less.
