Folks,
I got this message from a vendor as to why they couldn't do SSL on their
site...or that they couldn't, what does Apache say ?
IDI Solutions Newsroom Manager and Grassroots Manager utilize not just
the standard Apache web server, but create custom HTML pages for each
user through the use of the modperl module of Apache with custom built
scripts to parse an Oracle database.
You will notice that the site has pages with the .vtml extension. Our
application interacts with Apache to parse these pages through the
database to create valid HTML code.
Utilizing SSL with Apache is indeed a very simple modification to Apache
when there is not database parsing happening in the same process.
IDI has attempted to have SSL and our custom scripts to operate
simultaneously and after several attempts we realized that it was a much
larger undertaking.
thx,
mlb
