just a quick note before the teleconf today re feedback on the MWABP document as per Action Ite 904: there are more comments now at http://chw.rit.edu/blog/?p=187 as per the action item requested and there has been a spirited discussion about the document on Oxford Mobile Forum and in other venues it is *very* clear there is a community consensus about the whole secure URI access issue... the stance taken by pretty much everybody is that if a site says : "this URI should be accessed via a secure connection" then the "Best Practices" document should say: "honor the requirement for a secure connection" I agree wholeheartedly with this perspective... we are building a "Best Practices" document which may or may not be the same as the current practices of one site/vendor or another and that is okay... "Best Practices" should reflect what *should* happen my position on this issue has become: if a site says "use HTTPS" then the "Best Practice" we should recommend is "use HTTPS" jeffs -- Lyndon Johnson said the two things that make politicians behave more stupidly than anything else are sex and envy. You might add one more: proximity. I always think men are more prone to get seduced by proximity into making unwise choices. They tend to be a bit lazy. They'll grab the closest doughnut off the platter. - Maureen Dowd - ============ Prof. Jeff Sonstein http://www.it.rit.edu/~jxs/ http://ariadne.iz.net/~jeffs/ http://chw.rit.edu/blog/ http://ariadne.iz.net/~jeffs/jeffs.asc http://www.it.rit.edu/~jxs/emailDisclaimer.html
