This is an interesting variation on the old "can't-do-name-based-SSL" problem that we know and love. As you rightly state, the SSL handshake occurs at the HTTPS layer, which is before the HTTP session is established. So if the handshake fails, since an HTTP session is never established, you can't use any HTTP attributes in the response. In fact, you're not even in the HTTP part of the code so you don't have access yet to the HTTP error-handling routines. > > Specifically, I want to give a meaningful message to users > who don't provide a valid X.509 certificate when > SSLClientVerify require is set. However.... reading the docs for SSLVerifyClient [note spelling] (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslverifyclient) I see it has two contexts: - "per-server" it behaves as above, so no dice. - However, in "per-directory" context, it forces a re-negotiation (ie, you get in at the top level without a client cert - this establishes the SSL connection and now you are in HTTP - then you go to a sub-dir and have to renegotiate the session. At this point, if you fail, you should get an HTTP response though the docs don't say which one :-( Give it a try and let us know how you get on...
