		Apache 1.3 + mod_ssl 2.4 + mod_frontpage 4.0
		============================================

``mod_ssl combines the flexibility of Apache with the security of OpenSSL.''

 The Apache Interface to OpenSSL  ``The best SSL solution for
 http://www.modssl.org/             Apache money can't buy.''

Apache is an HTTP server designed as a plug-in replacement for the NCSA
server version 1.3 (or 1.4). It fixes numerous bugs in the NCSA server and
includes many frequently requested new features, and has an API which
Allows it to be extended to meet users' needs more easily.

Microsoft Frontpage Extentions allows web administrators and authors to
remotely manage, create, modify, or delete web pages on the Apache server
using Microsoft FrontPage 98/2000 clients.

Mod_ssl provides strong cryptography via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3)
and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols by the help of the SSL/TLS
implementation toolkit OpenSSL which is based on SSLeay from Eric A. Young
and Tim J. Hudson. The mod_ssl package was created in April 1998 by Ralf S.
Engelschall and was originally derived  from software developed by Ben Laurie
for use in the Apache-SSL HTTP server project.

 As a summary, here are its main SSL/TLS-related features:
   o  Open-Source software (BSD-style license)
   o  Useable for both commercial and non-commercial use
   o  Available for both Unix and Win32 (Windows 95/98/NT) platforms
   o  128-bit strong cryptography world-wide
   o  Support for SSLv2, SSLv3 and TLSv1 protocols
   o  Support for both RSA and Diffie-Hellman ciphers
   o  Clean reviewable ANSI C source code
   o  Clean Apache module architecture
   o  Integrates seamlessly into Apache through an Extended API (EAPI)
   o  Full Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) support
   o  Support for the OpenSSL+RSAref US-situation
   o  Advanced pass-phrase handling for private keys
   o  X.509 certificate based authentication for both client and server
   o  X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) support
   o  Support for per-URL renegotiation of SSL handshake parameters
   o  Support for explicit seeding of the PRNG from external sources
   o  Additional boolean-expression based access control facility
   o  Backward compatibility to other Apache SSL solutions
   o  Inter-process SSL session cache (DBM and Shared Memory based)
   o  Powerful dedicated SSL engine logging facility
   o  Simple and robust application to Apache source trees
   o  Fully integrated into the Apache 1.3 configuration mechanism
   o  Additional integration into the Apache Autoconf-style Interface (APACI)
   o  Assistance in X.509v3 certificate generation (both RSA and DSA)
