Hi

Unfortunetly there's a bug/limitation[1] in the Firefox implementation of that method that means you can't use a self-signed certificate to sign the text.

I've already knocked up a patch to fix it, but it seems no one is particularly interested in getting it included.

I voted for it. Anyone interested should vote for it too. While you are at it also vote for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396441

Firefox and Opera Javascript have a method crypto.signText() which apparently will support signing of form data on the client side which has a wide array of use cases including signing XWikiDocuments in so they can be imported and exported while retaining their author field. see: http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6152-10/sgntxt.htm

This does indeed sound like it could be another very useful application of foaf+ssl.
