Pascal Hambourg:Hmm. I don't know how SSL works, but HTTPS runs on top of TCP so I doubt that it cares about IP packet size. The task of splitting the TCP payload stream into IP packets is done by the TCP layer.Sure, but if your encryption scheme wastes payload in yout packets you have more overhead for TCP/IP headers in each packet.
Why would encryption increase the payload size ? Disk encryption with dm-crypt does not (except for the LUKS header).
