Hey!  We *invented* https.  The SSL RFC is co-authored by Kipp Hickman of
Netscape.  IIRC, one of the earliest MS-Netscape battles was over the
standard for security on the web.  Netscape was pushing SSL and MS was
pushing some other technology (S-HTTP?).  MS lost the battle and licensed
SSL from Netscape.
