Apache and SSL/SHTTP

[Brian Behlendorf <br...@organic.com>]

I've gotten three personal messages today asking about whether Apache 
has/will have SSL or SHTTP support.  My stock answer is that, no, there 
are no plans from the team members, but a group in Australia might be 
working on a module for it, I don't know, go buy NetSite for now since 
you'll need a key from RSA anyways to be put on their CA, the only active 
CA netscape recognizes. Is this accurate? Could someone who is more 
familiar with the situation 1) write something up for the web site, and 
2) contact that group in Australia and see if they're interested?  

Thanks.

	Brian

Would a federal antitrust investigation help?  :):)

That's about the size of it.  NCSA and CERN are done (although there are 
some problems with CGI's I believe).  Apache is on the list.

That's the way it is at the moment.  I've been told that a "future 
release" of netscape will support other CA's but that's not confirmed at 
this stage (feel free to confirm this anyone ...)

I'll have a further chat with the guys and see how things are going.
