I've spent some time looking through Zope.org for some enlightenment concerning how best to use Zope with SSL, but there are many different tutorials, with different answers. What does the list currently recommend about the following options:
* Is there a good patch for ZServer to support https directly, or should I run ZServer under Apache 2.0 with mod_ssl? * Do I need to use the Zope.cgi script, and if not, how do I get around it? * How is mod_proxy used with SSL, and how is this different from using mod_rewrite alone? * Is it better to use Virtual Host Monsters or the "Site Access" product to serve different sites from the same Zope instance.
The various howtos and The Zope Book are all over the map on what to do in this case. I'm curious which solution performs best for multiple sites under one instance.
Thanks, Rob
I got problems with some pages when publishing Zope behind Apache 2 : The content-length header is removed from Zope response, and in some situations, it's a problem (i.e. viewing a PDF URL with IE). It appears to be an Apache bug... --Gilles
