Re: [Exist-open] Warning about eXist Crypto module

[Christian W. <cwi...@gm...>]

Dear Joe,

Thanks for the heads up.  Unfortunately this does not solve the problem 
for me.

I am depending on the crypto module for github webhooks via Winona 
Salesky's excellent github-xq module. I usually develop on a local 
server, then push the changes to the github repository and have the 
webhook deliver it to the production server.  So far this was excellent 
to quickly deliver bugfixes etc, but I can't use it that way at the 
moment :-(

Christian

P.S.  Yes, I know I should not use the 5.3.0 SNAPSHOT in production, it 
started as a test that (otherwise) turned out so well that I decided to 
go with it.  Until I discovered the crypto problem....  CW
