Rebol/View/Runtime with HTTPS?

Does anyone know if there will be a Rebol/View/Runtime with HTTPS? I assume /Runtime will hide the source code. Will this be a "free player" just like a Web Browser or a RealAudio player? How will RT make money if the client is free and the server is written in java? Perhaps, RT can enable HTTPS only if the REBOL program contains a key that will be given to paying licensees. ===== ------------------------------------------------------------ David Vydra www.vydra.net david (at) vydra (dot) net

Hi! I've talked with Cindy about Runtime and she told me about a new release of RT, called Encap, this application will allow us to distribute .exe files. Cheers!, Rondon

Randon, Thanks for the info. I suppose this .exe file will contain the entire REBOL runtime. What I need is an application "player" that a user downloads once and that will "play/run" scripts from different sources, just like a RealPlayer. It needs to have https support -- it does not need a desktop or email capabilities by default. So, if eBay and Yahoo and many others deside to offer a REBOL/View interface along with their Web UI, there has to be a way to install REBOL once and just download scripts from these vendors, not the entire REBOL runtime many times over. Of course there has to be a way for RT to charge for this. I am curious if anyone is thinking in the same direction? Regards, David --- Rondon Andrade <[rondon--andrade--uol--com--br]> wrote:
