group doing SSL in Apache... let 'em know what's coming?

I found the post below in comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix --- I'm
not sure if the people involved know anything about Shambhala; in
fact, it's likely they don't. Should we be giving them a heads-up?

Does anyone know if the developers of Apache (or NSCA or CERN servers) plan
on incorporating SSL into their servers?

There is a patch for NCSA httpd on
ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/SSLapps using the SSL implementation
in ftp://ftp.psy.uq.oz.au/pub/Crypto/SSL.

The ports for Apache and CERN httpd are in work.

most definitely. They might not like what they hear, but they
need to hear it.

There's also somebody working on an OS/2 port. I think he talked to us
at some point.

As well as telling these people directly, we should add some info to
the apache www pages, and point c.i.www.servers.unix readers at it.
The info should say that the code is being rewritten and why.

The guy that's driving the incorporation of SSLeay into application
protocols is Tim Hudson (tjh@mincom.oz.au). Tim and I are friends and I'm
doing some stuff with him on the ftp and telnet implementation (I'm just
adding some further optionality). If the group is looking at a move to
Shambhala in the long term I'll have a chat to him about it.

Please do. FWIW, the thing to look at first is http_protocol.c, which
handles almost all interaction with the client (I think the only
exception should be nph- scripts, which are *required* by the spec to
have direct access to the client socket --- I'm not sure how that
could work in an SSL context, but Rob M. must have some ideas ;-).
