Please answer my following queries.

In rfc2660 (http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC2660/Output/chapter2.html), I
found this line:
[quote]
The MAC should be computed over the encapsulated content of the
S-HTTP message.
[/quote]

-What will the size of this content over which mac is computed? Can
this be dictated through my client?

-Also, can I request mac-info for a range of bytes that I haven't yet
downloaded?

sizeof(Message) + 32bit + sizeof(shared key), if not the new HMAC is
used.

But: this all is written down in RFC 2660, could you please explain
your problem more detailed?

What are you doing?
