Sorry guys, post from the correct mailbox.

Thanks Jeff, you are correct. I am chiefly a user, and baby programmer
on the side.

You probably remember my previous requests to supports rtsp over ssl,
however this question was truly just for http servers, and the players
ability to play files off of them (either download or range-streaming).
So it wouldn't require any changes to the Real/Helix server per se, just
client (I believe).

Do you know if that is on the radar?

PS - If it helps justify it, memory tells me that QT and Wm do natively
supports https server playback.
