Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Apache 1.3 has never had SSL shipped with the standard source, which is mostly a legacy of U.S. export laws. The Apache Software Foundation decided, while 2.0 was being written, to incorporate SSL in the future, and so 2.0 now has SSL built in out-of-the-box. Unfortunately, our preferred solution for Apache 1.3, Apache-SSL, is rather different from Apache 2.0’s native solution, mod_ssl, so we have a section for each.
