Most people would leave apache (usually with mod_ssl) to handle the encryption over https. Im not even sure if you could do what I think you are asking without controlling the whole http communication (as the whole thing is SSL wrapped, or none of it). > Would it be possible to us header("Content-type: multipart/encrypted"), > since it is originally meant for messages? I think you need to look into one of the following: - Handling the requests yourself by listening to port 80 (not advisable - php wasnt built for that sort of task, but its possible) - Using ssl certificate pairs and installing them in a custom manner on the apache installation - Alternative methods PS: if your not using apache, I cant help you at all. Others may. --- Dan Hardiker [dhardiker@staff.firstcreative.net] ADAM Software & Systems Engineer First Creative
