Hi,

I have some ideas for openssl: Integrating access to web based 3D-Object 
repositories. C3AN: Comprehensive 3D Archive Network.

For that we will need HTTP, and HTTPS, I think.

Wasn't that the idea of NaN, to generate some revenue from those features?

But that wouldn't work for Browser-integrated players and PDAs then, or am I 
wrong?

In my opinion, encryption and signing are features that are necessary for 
some artists and companies to adopt Blender.

Many greetings,
