Release:

    * Port of mod_ssl to Apache 2.0:

      The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README.  The next

      step is to figure out how the old three configuration contexts (global,

      per-server, per-directory) can be ported to Apache 2.0 (especially the

      global context which has to survive server restarts RSE still does not

      know how to port). Then the remaining source files (which depend on the

      configuration contexts) which are still tagged with "-" in

      modules/ssl/README can be ported. 

      One more thing to figure out is how and when mod_ssl can provide the

      interactive pass phrase dialog (in Apache 1.3 it used the first init

      round [where tty was still not detached] and skipped the second init

      round [where it was already detached]). Apache 2.0 requires (or already

      has?) an official hook where such tty-dialogs can be performed.

      RSE is on holiday until June 11th, 2001. After this he starts

      working on mod_ssl again and tries to make mod_ssl running inside

      Apache 2.0 by end of June. If anyone wants to help making mod_ssl

      running in the meantime, feel free to make your hands dirty inside

      modules/ssl/. Do whatever you think is appropriate to get it

      running. I've no objections of any kind, except: just do not

      remove any old functionality. Keep everything, even if it needs

      #if 0...endif wrapped to not make trouble for you.

      The current porting state is summarized in modules/ssl/README. The

      remaining work includes:

      (1) stablizing/optimizing the SSL filter logic

      (2) Enabling the various SSL caching mechanisms (shmcb, shmht)

      (3) Enabling SSL extentions

      (4) Trying to seperate the https filter logic from mod_ssl -

          This is to facilitate other modules that wish to use the https

          filter or the mod_ssl logic or both as required.
