Re: Work items for the Release

[da...@opensource.lk]

Hi Team,
I'd like to add the following item.
We have a ssl patch applied, sent by Mark Lrod for the axisc++ client.
We need to add this feature to the release.
To do this
We need to install apache with ssl enabled and make it listen to https
requests.
We need to make some changes in the code so that client can send https.
