To follow up; with some help from Konstantin and Stefan, we realized that this
particular problem should already be fixed. While I was using the most recent version

I updated the mhttpd HTTPS/SSL server (mongoose) and https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html is
now more or less happy with it. google chrome connects using "modern cryptography".

Stefan identified a serious multi-thread locking bug in mhttpd that affects the operation of the sequencer (a race condition between db_set_record() and
db_get_record() inside the hotlink code). This is now fixed. If you use the sequencer, please update mhttpd.cxx to the latest (or to this) version.

Configuration of web server completely changed (merge of branch feature/mongoose-config2). Hopefully for the last time.
mhttpd is now controlled by these ODB variables:

There is a bug in the string handling when changing ODB string entries via the

I wanted to try to summarize the current situation with regards to the handling of strings through the MIDAS web interface.
