A trusted site could demand strong cryptography, if that's what you hit I'd strongly encourage you to notify Microsoft, and now that you've published it, bugtraq. That said, and without time to research on my own, I'd suggest it isn't very likely. You can add the ciphersuite in use to the various log fields for your successful requests, to see if a weaker one is really in use. But mostly likely, Trusted Sites requires stronger identification of the target machine, not weaker, and therefore you are probably seeing lag from forward and reverse DNS lookups occurring to try to catch DNS cache pollution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
