As far as I understood mod_ssl patches a EAPI into Apache only, to make
some "new" hooks aviable, the mod_ssl itself is a module and it should be
possible to load it dynamically. Second, mod_ssl developers (mostly Ralf
;) ) spent much attention on writing clean, stable, well-documented code
and to write a nice documentaion/manual (== doing the right software
engineering). mod_ssl was adapted from Apache-SSL and was intended to be
"the new" Apache-SSL as module design (tell me when I'm wrong, Ralf!), but
by the time there came up more differences (shared memory cache in mod_ssl
and so on), since the Apache-SSL developers didn't like the "module idea"
(tell me when I'm wrong, Ben!).
oki,
Steffen
