I believe Spyglass' Enhanced MOSAIC 2.0 will also support S-HTTP.
At the ISOC conference, I asked Allan SChiffman from EIT about the
divergence of S-HTTP, SSL, and Shen, and how he thought the protocols
would evolve - would they converge, or would there be competing protocols?
His response was that Netscape had recently announced support for S-HTTP
in the Netsite Commerce Server.
This came as news to me. Can someone from NCC comment/confirm/deny this?
