[Webdev] Discovering cipher strength of client browser

[Webdev] Discovering cipher strength of client browser

Conor Lynch lynchc at bupa.ie

Hi there,
	Does anyone know how I can find out the cipher strength of a
client's browser?
We are using 128-bit encryption on our site, and I would like to tell the
user to update their
browser from 40-bit to 128-bit encryption if necessary.

The javascript ssjs_getCGIVariable function gets the session keysize using
HTTPS_KEYSIZE
but I believe this is the server cipher strength, not the client cipher
strength.

Any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers,
	Conor.
