Prepare for HTTPS modifications in IE7 and WinInet libraries

As you are surely aware, Windows Vista will come with a new version of Internet Explorer, version 7. This new version improves, among other things, security in many ways. One of these modifications is the handling of sites that use HTTPS or SSL certificates.

On MSDN, there's an article about these changes. Even if you don't run a web site that uses HTTPS, your applications might be affected, too. This is because the changes are made in the WinInet libraries, which IE uses. And your application or library code might, too. For example, Delphi web services code might be affected.
