Awesome! For some reason, I never thought about ttf-ssl, but it makes so much sense.

ttf src should be fully compatible with https now.

shouldn't ssl be totally transparent?

no, because ttf uses http location headers in some scripts for redirection.

rfc 2616 requires the use of absolute uris for location headers.

so it now uses http when not using ssl, and https when using ssl?

did you install or uninstall fonts recently? you may need to rebuild your font cache, restart your browser, or restart your gui system.

it took a while because http:// was at the top of my autocomplete list in my web browser. so for a bit I had to consciously press the down arrow a couple of times to get to https://. now it's on top though :).

the law is no protection
so now that I kind of understand how all this key, signing request, and certificate stuff works, I have a simple question. do you have a passphrase on the key that you use, lucas? I know it's a good idea to have one, but then you have to remember to input it every time you restart a service that uses the relevant certificate. it's kind of a pain, so I've just been doing keys with no passphrases for services.

yes, i use passphrases.

which means if my vps reboots and i'm not around, web services will not restart. :o

the law is no protection
yeah, that's another part of what I was concerned about :/. but then I read something like "a compromise of the key means a compromise of the server" and I get scared again. if someone gets a hold of a private key, can they decrypt and logged encrypted information that they had been gathering?

this just happened. i was running `apt-get upgrade`, apache restarted during the process, and i wasn't around to type in the passphrase. :/

Free proper SSL?

http://www.h-online.com/security/features/SSL … 06862.html


SSL for free
Setting up free certificates
by Daniel Bachfeld


Owning a web server that has its own SSL certificate from a registered Certificate Authority (so it won't trigger any browser warnings) does have its advantages. However, the price of a certificate issued by Verisign or a similar vendor usually tends to put a quick end to such fanciful ideas. Israeli vendor StartSSL offers free SSL server certificates that are valid for a year.

Since StartSSL's root certificates are already included in all the mainstream browsers, opening a certificate from the vendor doesn't trigger any error messages. This article gives examples of all the steps required to add StartSSL certification, from signing up with StartSSL to integrating the certificate into an Apache web server under Linux.



Haven't checked it out yet though....
