RE: Another numpty question - web servers

Adrian that's great, it makes perfect sense and nicely explained so
that
even I can follow it :)

I think this approach should let me view Tivo Web via a S60 browser.

Thanks

Dave

I have 2 setups, one just bog standard public viewable webpages so no
password (port 80), for the secure stuff (like my HA web interface), I
have
port 443 forwarded to a PC running orenosp, this creates a secure web
session (https) and requests a userid/password (managed by orenosp) so
from
just before you get the user/pass prompt, the whole things encrypted.

Basically orenosp handles the https session (from the internet), then
its
normal http sessions from orenosp to the real webservers behind this (so
all
local traffic on the LAN at home in unencrypted), all traffic from this
going via the internet is https (encrypted)

does this make sense?
