Uhhhh, dojo storage doesn't NEED to use flash, it only does if it
needs to store around 500k of data, otherwise it uses cookies to store
this data. Regardless, if you want a flash-less solution, you could
always use cookies.

ISTM that yes, it does not only require Flash, but also a very particular
runtime environment. Especially, it would probably require the
*Macromedia/Adobe* Flash Player plugin (it doesn't say that but it can be
assumed) which provides the capability for Flash movies to store more than
the average amount of cookie data. And ISTM that this plugin needs to be
configured so that Flash is allowed sufficient storage space on the system
partition (which is not mentioned at all in the requirements).
And about the HTTPS environment: What kind of complete lusers are we dealing
with here? Do you want to trust people managing your valuable data that
cannot even accomplish that basic setup (my, you don't even need a properly
signed certificate for a test!). I for one certainly would not.
