Hi Teng,

 thank you for the suggestion, I had seen that and don't think it's
an option. I believe that forcing clients to install things is
not compatible with the idea of a generic service.
 Moreover I plan to investigate the usage of XrdHttp on top of Pss,
and I can't modify browsers, I am not powerful enough, yet :-P
