This probably is something for Charles, but I thought the list might
have some thoughts so I 'll ask it here.

Is it possible if yes (easy/difficult) to serve the weblet pages
(updated with bandwidth monitor & new design) with the apache package
that is available for Lrp?

If yes how would I go about this?

The reason I ask is because I would like to serve them through ssl
and I don't think Charles' little webserver supports ssl or does it?

CS> Actually, since the weblet pages are standard HTML and cgi-scripts, you
can serve them up with whatever web server you want, including apache.
While I haven't tested it, the only requirement is cgi support, which most
web servers will have.  AFAIK, you should be able to use apache, thttpd,
boa, netscape, and other web-servers as well as sh-httpd (at least as long
as you can get them to run on LRP :-).

Note that while sh-httpd (the little webserver that runs the weblet pages)
doesn't directly support ssl, you can add an ssl wrapper program and get ssl
support that way, if you don't want to install the full blown apache &
openssl on your lrp system.

Also, from a security standpoint, you might be better off tunneling through
ssh rather than using ssl.  While ssl encrypts your data so no one else can
see it, ssh has much more flexability in the way of authentication, or
verifying you're actually authorized to make a connection...
