I was surprised to find out that in 1995 the NCSA HTTP server and browser already had PGP support [1]. It was removed due to now-defunct export laws of the U.S.
When will such functionality ever be returned to the most popular free HTTP server and browser? It seems that with opencdk and the unique OpenPGP support in gnutls being under the GPL, we'll never see this support put into Apache. Does the new Apache license change the situation?
