Mod_SSL in binaries
Hi all, I'm just curious as to the reasons that Mod_SSL is not included in pre-compiled versions of Apache. I presume they're legal issues as I recall a while ago that Microsoft, due to export restrictions, could not release their High Encryption Pack for Internet Explorer however they did over come this restriction possibly due to some legislative change - nevertheless they were allowed to allow downloads of this high encryption pack. If it is a matter of which countries are alowed access to the ssl enabled software, perhaps an IP filter could be used to allow or deny a particular user from downloading the ssl enabled apache. I would like to see a pre-compiled binary with mod_ssl in the future (as I'm sure many of us would :) ). I guess for now I will have to continue compiling the ssl enabled version of apache from the source... Thanks, Jason.
Permissions
As far as I can see, in apache, the configuration described below is
impossible (or possible however requires a whole lot of lines of
configuration):
Allow from all computers on the Internet,
Deny from the 10.x.x.x subnet,
Allow from a particular IP address within the 10.x.x.x subnet (ie 10.0.0.14)
I can see this being done if you were to specify a very large amount
of deny directives after an "Allow from all" with Order allow,deny
however I do not see an easier way of doing this. If there is one I
would love to hear how (and if it is obvious, please spare me the
embarrassment and tell me nicely :P ), but if, as I suspect there is
no easier way, I would like to make the suggestion to incorporate a
method to accommodate this. I am no good at programming in C so I do
not have a clue of where to begin in this from a technical
perspective.
Thank you all, and sorry if I'm being ignorant in any way,
Jason

Re: UNIQUE_ID as an integer
Hey Will,
I do indeed think that this patch is useful and I would like to apply
it to my configuration! Alas I am not all that good with the
modification/patching of programs using the source code (I only know
how to program in Visual Basic... which I am hoping to ditch and learn
C++) or the use of linux in general for that matter. Therefore I ask
could you, or anyone else please provide information or a reference to
information regarding how to implement such a patch on linux for
apache. I'm sorry if I'm asking a stupid question but if someone could
push me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Jason.

Mod_Proxy suggestion
Hey all,
I have a suggestion for a feature that may fall into the category of
mod_proxy. Now, I'm no apache programmer however I have attempted to
write scripts that implement this in my server to little avail. What I
propose is written into mod_proxy (or another module of similar
effect) is a usage accounting function that can assist administrators
in controling their bandwidth usage when users use the connection via
the proxy. In addition to this, a per-user usage accounting system
could be implemented.
What does the apache community think of this? Feasable?

Re: Bye bye welcome page
With regards to this whole new welcome page thingy, I feel the
somewhat redundant need to say my lil bit-o-stuff
Maybe there should simply be a blank page that says something like:
"This page is under constuction"
And it could go out on a crazy tangent to say something like the
server version as at the very bottom... which could be... wait for
it in italic!

Re: httpd v2.0.50 Windows binaries with mod_ssl
I found that you can get mod_ssl included as a binary if you download
the binaries that include PHP and mod_perl. (That's how I got it
working for me) I think mod_ssl isn't included for some strange export
issues however I'm not sure. Anyway, let me know if you have any luck
elsewhere.
