This may sound a little strange at first, but I'm looking for feedback from
the experienced modssl-users readership on how people view the use of
Apache/mod_ssl in a non-SSL configuration.
My purpose for asking is that we are porting Apache and mod_ssl and
packaging it for our customers. Most of our larger target customers will
configure and use it with SSL enabled, but many customers won't. We have two
options:
a) Produce a single image with SSL capability
b) Produce two images - one with SSL and one without SSL
With option (a) non-SSL customers will not enable SSL, but will still need a
server certificate (otherwise, "unable to generate a temporary RSA key"
errors prevent Apache from starting).
We'll also be looking at performance impact with option (a) in non-SSL mode.
Are there any opinions or experience out there on either approach?
