Apache-SSL is an encrypting web server, based on Apache and SSLeay, which
implements Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) functionality as a set of patches to existing Apache
source code.
The webserver is distributed with the full source code. Inside the
United States you are able to use it for non-commercial purposes for
free if you use RSAREF (due to various patents). Outside the United
States you can use it for non-commercial and commercial purposes for
free.
Inside the United States in order to use Apache with SSL commercially
you may want to look at Stronghold or Raven.
Get Apache-SSL from here.
This module provides strong cryptography for the Apache 1.3 webserver via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3)
and Transport
Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols by the help of the Open Source SSL/TLS 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. The
mod_ssl package is licensed under a BSD-style licence, which basically means
that you are free to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial
purposes.
The mod_ssl package is distributed as a
source extension and set of patches for the Apache 1.3 webserver from outside
the United States. Inside the United States you are able to use it for
non-commercial purposes for free if you use RSAREF (due to various patents).
Outside the United States you can use it for non-commercial and commercial
purposes for free.

The Apache/Perl integration project brings together the full power
of the Perl programming language
and the Apache HTTP server. With mod_perl
it is possible to write Apache modules entirely in Perl. In addition,
the persistent interpreter embedded in the server avoids the overhead
of starting an external interpreter and the penalty of Perl start-up
time.
The primary motivation for this port is to show that OS/2 is a viable
and powerful server platform and to promote its use as such. The
secondary reason is to provide a free industrial strength HTTP
server with a growing feature set available for OS/2.
Note: as of Apache 1.3b3, it should be possible to compile for
OS/2 from the standard distribution.
