Hi,

i fully support rasmus, saying that we should mention the default
configuration
as unsafe in the documentation.

Unlike Mr. Lorch or similiar people i do not think its our resposibility to
configure
the server for the admin. And i am a little bit tired about this whole
session
takeover discussion. Because in the end its our responsibility to design a
secure
new unsniffable protocol and develop clients and servers for it.
Because THIS would be the only way to stop session takeovers. As long
session
IDs are transferred over http/https they are unsecure *POINT*

If you want to blame someone go and bitch at Microsoft who endangers about
70% of
all session-ids out there.
