Where is this happening?
It's a project called "solid" which stands for Social Linked Data https://solidproject.org/
I'm just trying to figure out how access control to pods is handled and whether they are encrypted on the server?
HTTP access codes control access 401 - not allowed, i dont know who you are 402 - payment is required 403 - i know who you are but you cant access Encryption is optional, same as nostr.
