Fair enough--but for low volume intranet-like sites, Zope with built-in SSL is very convenient, easy to manage, and has decent performance. Richard Jones has produced a pre-compiled Zope 2.43 with SSL and WebDAV SSL for MacOSX that really makes things easy (and includes his attractive GUI Zope controller):

Granted I haven't looked hard, but I have not found a straightforward description of how to do the SSL build. I'd like to put together a package similar to Richard's for Zope 2.51
Jim: Just to say "yes please". I think it would be good for Zope to be able to say "secure out of the box". Whilst recognising that Apache + Zope will continue to be the preferred route for many, I think it's an extra bit of complexity that the newcomer to Zope can do without. FWIW links to the only recipes for standalone Zope + SSL known to me can be found via <http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/dwhowto>. As I recall I never quite figured how make the WebDAV port secure using that advice so it would be great if you could straighten things out for me.
