Heh. We're all wrong sooner or later. :) In short, Apache is awesome. But
really, it's just that this is the sort of thing one wants to do on the web
all of the time, so the protocol and clients and servers are designed to
support it.

Here is a URL from the 2001 Apachecon describing how to incorporate mod_ssl into Apache.  I used some of this for a site that REQUIRES secure (SSL/TLS) communications.
