More shared memory caching is always good news - BTW I saw Apache+SSL being
mentioned at http://www.spread.org/license/ : "Use of Spread with Apache-SSL
to maintain a shared cache of session keys.". If spread is all that it promises
to be, then that might be a nice shortcut to getting a nice shared session
server to serve multiple mod_ssl frontends.
LDAP definetely sounds like a nice addition as an alternative or supplement
to the current CRL checking - it sure would be nice for those who have to
deliver something close to real time certificate revocation. I've even seen
a setup of requesting the CRL several times every hour and throwing a graceful
restart after apache every time it changed - I think they'll appreciate LDAP
support quite a lot ;-)
With a little luck we might even see Apache 1.3.13 within a couple of weeks -
at least it has been ready to roll for a while ... so 2.7 might not be that
far away at all ;-)
