Hi All,
As I’m sure you are already aware, Domino does not currently support TLS for HTTP and other Internet protocols even though it is supported for SMTP.
The following technote documents this information:
Title: Is TLS 1.0 or 1.1 a supported security protocol with Domino Internet services?
Doc #: 1230607
URL: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg21230607
The technote mentions a SPR which was recently created so if you would like to see TLS support in Domino for other Internet protocols please create a PMR using the ESR tool and mention SPR ABAI7FBJAZ. This will allow IBM to make a valid determination for how many customers want or need this in their environments.

Please note that this forum posting will not be actively monitored, so if you do not create a PMR referencing the SPR above, IBM will not be able to log your request for this functionality.
Subject: Related HTTP SPRs: #1: Full GZIP support, #2: HTTP agent locale awareness
Anyone interested in TLS on HTTP may also be interested in these two SPRs:
ARUI5Y9JPS - Enhancement Request: Request for other databases to use GZIP feature
This would give the Domino HTTP server full GZIP support, not just for web mail and static files on disk.
AKNX7ETP87 - Enhancement Request: Give agents awareness of HTTP rendering locale
HTTP can derive locale settings for web users via the $Preferences cookie or the browser’s language settings. This allows forms, views, etc. to render numbers, dates/times, etc. in the format the web user is expecting.
If HTTP needs to call an agent (e.g. a WebQueryOpen/WebQuerySave agent on a form, or an ?OpenAgent call directly), the agent has no way of determining what format HTTP has determined to use. Agent code such as Cstr(Now) or .ToString() will always format using the server’s locale. If this agent output is given to the web user it can cause confusing results.
ASP .Net has the Culture and CultureInfo classes. Notes client code can use the NotesInternational class, but when run on a server (e.g. web agent) that class always surfaces the server’s locale, not the web user’s.
Some way is needed derive the HTTP settings, e.g. a new class NotesWebInternational possibly with its own small set of functions such as NotesWebInternational.Cstr() to allow developers to present agent output in the format the user is expecting.
If either of these interest you you can follow Louis’ steps in the original post to mention interest in these SPRs.
Subject: STARTTLS != TLS
“As I’m sure you are already aware, Domino does not currently support TLS for HTTP and other Internet protocols even though it is supported for SMTP.”
The Domino mail server supports the SMTP STARTTLS command, which can be used with any version of SSL, not just TLS. This is not the same thing as supporting TLS for SMTP.
