Hello Guy,

Well, SSL is very secure and it is very good thing that you brought it
up,
I you want to exchange content over https it a fine solution, i will say
that it all depends on the kind of trust relationship between the server
and the client.
HTTPS is just fine for some applications, IPSec will be more secure
and it will support more L4 applications,.
So I am with you, why go through the hassle if we are talking about web
based
applications.
