Re: Simple API for HTTP GET?

Hi, I have asked similar question before and looking for solution sticked with Apache 2.x codebase only. Some replied to take a look at mod_proxy_http and mod_include module as they do the exact thing. However, it is complicated and hard to understand up to my knowledge about Apache internal.

I would like to write a module which requires to make outgoing SSL connection and read the response. Which set of function calls should I use to make it with best portability in both prefork and thread MPM? Would it be a problem if I use direct OpenSSL calls? Or mod_ssl provide these functions
