  SSL (Secure Socket Layer) data transport requires encryption, and many

  governments have restrictions upon the import, export, and use of

  encryption technology.  If Apache included SSL in the base package,

  its distribution would involve all sorts of legal and bureaucratic

  issues., and it would no longer be freely available.

  Some SSL implementations of Apache are available, however; see the
