Fossil

Differences From Artifact [29d8d4fc04]:

• File www/ssl.wiki — part of check-in [062d2bf61b] at 2019-01-20 01:52:36 on branch trunk — Largely rewrote www/ssl.wiki, it being 7 years since the last update, during which time much has changed in TLS land. Added the initial version of www/tls-nginx.md as a companion article to it, since the topic is too deep to get into within ssl.wiki. Finally, added a new script, tools/fslsrv, referred to by tls-nginx.md, since it's too big to put inline within the article. (user: wyoung size: 10929) [more...]

To Artifact [c5a5b02cf9]:

• File www/ssl.wiki — part of check-in [43166dcda3] at 2019-01-21 09:38:09 on branch trunk — Assorted improvements to the TLS/SSL docs. (user: wyoung size: 10936)

finally became entirely obsolete due to weaknesses in the protocol fixed
in the later TLS series of protocols.

Some people still use the term "SSL" when they actually mean "TLS," but
in the Fossil project, we always use "TLS" except when we must preserve
some sort of historical compatibility, as with this document's name in
order to avoid broken external URLs.  The Fossil TLS-related settings
also often use "`ssl`" in their names, for the same reason.

This series of protocols is also called "HTTPS" after the URI scheme
used to specify "HTTP over TLS."
