This is largely not true, if you want to talk to today's servers.
Unlike HTTP, SSL is not cross-compatible with older versions.
- lucideer 5y agoYou can install modern up-to-date TLS software on a 25yo device. I was making the distinction between hardware and software support.
- AshamedCaptain 5y agoThat is quite the assertion... Care to try installing "up-to-date TLS" on a EPOC32 device?
- lucideer 5y agoIt certainly would be quite the assertion if one were to choose to interpret "a 25yo device" to mean "any 25yo device", but doing so would be obviously ridiculous.
- forgotmypw17 5y agoI don't think it's possible with even conveniently emulated Windows 95, 98, ME,... I would be happy to be proven wrong. And that is about as mainstream a device as you can get.
