[quote]Hi, 
my name is waheed and I am from Sweden. I am facing some problem while dealing with SSL handshaking process.
Let me tell you the scenario. In normal handshaking process when client(Browser)sends hello message to the server, server sends back the hello message. Now what I am trying to do that when the client(Browser, in my case Firefox) sends the hello message to the secure server:

Client---> hello

The server will send back the hello message

Server---> hello

but what i want to do that when server will send it hello message to the client i want to add some more information in the hello message. For example server will force the client that I need this specific information if you want to access me. When client will get this hello  message from the server, it will provide that information if it have, otherwise handshaking process should be failed.

But the problem is that SSL or https rfc is very strict to add some extra values to the hello messages. So I am wondering that how to achieve that. and my second question is that if for example we could achieve this, then how can i integrate this with the firefox.

I am waiting for you favorable reply.

With kind regards
