I'd like to set up some kind of secure communication link between this server (or one like it) and my browser. For various (good, interesting) reasons, my hosting provider doesn't provide SSL for member sites, so SSL isn't an option. Does anyone else have this problem? I imagine there must be others who can't or won't use SSL, but still want secure communication. I've already started working on a JavaScript & Haskell solution in my head, but I wanted to see if anyone else has already solved the problem before I go too much farther.

After a long hiatus, I'm starting my blog again. I've change to a new hosting service that's very flexible and very reasonably priced - NearlyFreeSpeech.NET. So far I'm very happy with them. I've also decided that it's better to have a working blog than to work on blogging software, so I've settled on one that's fairly standard and easy to set up. I'll be writing more in the next few days as I get the domain transfer worked out and so on.
