I would respectfully suggest that modssl discussions stay here. I don't want to rag on Apache 2.0, and I'm sure a lot of good things have found their way into it, but it does not solve a number of issues that I think many people in production environments would require to push them into a pro-active decision to migrate. Likewise, it introduces an entirely new base of code with considerably less real-world mileage than the Apache 1.3.** base, so there's a non-trivial motivation to *not* migrate unless absolutely necessary. Apache 2.0 has clearly also been taking what one might call an, ummm, let's say "value-added" design approach. If your focus is on SSL/TLS, security, and serving up HTML through a robust and secure server, then having something new that tries to multiplex a huge number of different features and services (in the same address-space as one another, moreover!) is a can of worms that many people will consider best left shut. For now at the very least. So if discussion on the SSL module is in someways independant (or at least may often be independant) of the apache version, I'd suggest we keep discussion in this one place. For my own part; in the near future, I will be working again on session caching and other tuning operations on the Apache 1.3.***-based modssl distribution and [will] have neither the time nor inclination to involve myself in the goings-on of Apache 2.0. I won't mind at *all* if someone who does have the time and motivation handles merging anything useful from that to the apache 2.0 code-base - but I won't be reading from, or posting to, anything Apache 2.0-specific.
