[Zope] Zope and SSL

I've scoured the various Howto's and have found some things related to using Zope and SSL in various ways, but I still can't quite figure out the answer to a really basic question (please be patient--I'm a real Zope newbie). Can Zope itself be configured (without TOO much pain) to use SSL directly, i.e., a provide a secure (https:) connection not using Apache as an intermediary? I've already got Apache working with SSL, so I've got all the certificates, keys, etc., and it's "just" a matter of getting Zope to talk security itself, directly. I'm also curious why this isn't built-in to Zope, i.e., why it isn't (or doesn't seem to be) important to the core DC folks? Thanks. -- Cheers! Chris Ryland Em Software, Inc. www.emsoftware.com
