And at least I think you are too pessimistic by the small number of
interested people. I have the impression here in germany are still lots
of people concerned and frightend everytime some tv magazin reports
online banking bugs here and security frauds there. If everyone is
complaining how about solving it in a simple way?
But this doesn't solve the actual problem--nearly all cracks of online
banks, stores, etc., are *not* done by intercepting HTTP traffic.
They're usually done by exploiting security bugs in the server
software and stealing information out of the databases. sigHTTP would
do nothing about that; in fact, it might exacerbate the problem, by
diverting resources that could instead be spent on securing the
server.
