Never seen it before, but it looks like someone has their DNS set to your server and thinks your server can return www.yahoo.com to their browser. I'm assuming you aren't hosting www.yahoo.com on your server? The last two figures are the html error code (200) and the size of the page returned

Most likely, somebody is trying to see if they can use your Apache server as a web proxy. Based on the status code and file size returned, I would guess that your server is not running the proxy module and the default virtual host responded instead. --- Deocs Postmaster [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Someone was testing to see if your machine is an open proxy. It appears (from the 200 result code) that it is. 63.251.5.48 = InterNap, and I'm guessing they are not authorized users? It's not an ssl issue. You should look at the mod_proxy documentation to make sure you are configured correctly.

Why stdin in mod_ssl?

Browsing through the mod_ssl source code, I notice that ssl_engine_config.c has a reference to stdin. Unfortunately I don't know lex/flex well enough to understand why. What's up? When does mod_ssl need to read stdin? I know that the default SSLPassPhraseDialog setup will cause it to prompt

Your configuration looks good, but I'm pretty sure that --enable-rule=SSL_EXPERIMENTAL should be part of your APACI_ARGS when configuring mod_perl, not when configuring mod_ssl. Of course, if it works, maybe Ralf moved shmcb out of the SSL_EXPERIMENTAL code? I'll have to look at the source to

It sounds like you are not running "apachectl startssl", and just running "apachectl start". Personally, I've found those IfDefine SSL statements a PITA. What I do is replace all IfDefine SSL statements with IfModule mod_ssl.c, except for the ones around the mod_ssl LoadModule and AddModule
