Don't quote me on this, but it's my understanding that it's the code that
does the work, not the result of the work that's controled by export
laws... In your example (as I understand it) all the work is done on the
server side (like when a perl or asp script is executed), and just the
results are fed "overseas"....
Now, in the case of a ftp site that has pgp.exe or something like that,
then yes, which is why there are so many steps to downloading pgp.
Correct me if I'm wrong...
