Ack! I guess I am confused. So let me get this straight. I have a choice
of:
A) Apache+mod_ssl . . . or
B) Apache-SSL
What then, pray tell, is OpenSSL? My understanding (likely wrong) was that
OpenSSL was an alternative to mod_ssl, and should be compiled in with the
standard Apache distribution (which is what I did). This produced an httpsd
binary, along with the associated httpsdctl script, which is what I am
starting the server with.
