-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- You don't need to do HTTP at all. Apache can rewrite incoming URLs, so that "http://" is translated to "https://", eliminating the need for a redirect. Metering encrypted email is more difficult... (note that he didn't say "PGP mail" he said "Encrypted mail"... But if you stick to something simple, such as PGP only, you could require the entire message to be a PGP message, and strip off Comments headers, etc., with relative ease. Check the mixmaster code to see how non-PGP messages can be rejected in a simple manner. On Thu, 26 Oct 2000, Mark Allyn wrote:
I like the idea, however it could be a management nightmare.
How would you meter the http vs https traffic? How would you meter the pgp email vs the non pgp email? Many pgp emails (including mine) have some non encrypted stuff in it (such as the sentance 'PGP message follows' or whatever.
Good Luck!
