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.
