If you are having problems with SSL, just use stunnel or use Apache's SSL with the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse directives. Has the added advantage that it is then trivial to split SSL encryption/decryption off to another machine if needed.
My co-founder fixed the SSL Portable Aserve problem on Ubuntu running SBCL :) (I'm going to try to talk my very technical co-founder into writing a nice blog about the whole experience if anyone is interested)
specified, with <Proxy [asterisk]> deny from all (or allowing just as needed). E.g. in Ubuntu, make SURE you link to proxy.conf from mods-enabled, because Apache has a horrendous bug where if it doesn't see that option in a config file it defaults to ON.
Which means people can joy-ride using your server as an open proxy.
I don't know what possessed them to make that an opt-OUT.
<Proxy *> -- news. yc markup bug, can't specify a single asterisk if italic markup follows.
