HTTPS Version 0.5a (SSL) PLUG-IN FOR OMNIWEB 2.0.1
==================================================
Juergen Moellenhoff (jm@oic.de), 1996-06-14

Description
===========
With this bundle you can use https-URLs (Netscapes SSL) with OmniWeb 2.0.1. It uses the free SSLeay-lib (Version 0.5.2a) from Eric Young (eay@mincom.oz.au) and the OmniWeb (omniweb@lighthouse.com) extensible bundle architecture.

The software is currently available via anonymous ftp at:

ftp://peanuts.leo.org/pub/comp/platforms/next/Network/www/OmniWeb2Bundles/https.0.5a.NIHS.bs.tar.gz

This software comes without any warranty of any kind. I am not responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of using this software. Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress, and bear with the incomplete nature of this bundle.

Installation
============
To enable it install https.omni anywhere in the OmniWeb bundle path (~/Library/OmniComponents, /LocalLibrary/OmniComponents, and the OmniWeb application wrapper itself) and restart OmniWeb.app. The recommended location for system-wide installation is /LocalLibrary/OmniComponents, for personal installation ~/Library/OmniComponents. OmniWeb.app will automatically load it the next time you run it. 

Architectures
=============
ALL Architectures (INTEL, MOTOROLA, HP and SUN).
HP and SUN is not tested!!

Warning!
=======
It is illegal to use this software inside of the USA, because the PKP has exclusive patent rights in the USA on all aspects of public key cryptography.
Sorry, but this is not my fault, if you are interested to learn more about this stuff, read the documentation to the SSLeay-lib.

Copyright
=========
This bundle is free for commercial and non-commercial use.

Bugs?
=====
It it not possible to use this bundle together with a PROXY-Server, because OmniWeb 2.0.1 goes around the bundle every time you try to use the https-URL via a PROXY-Server. I reported this bug to Lighthouse but got no response.
