Everybody voted for mod_ssl. The arguments are:

1) mod_ssl is better maintained - new version is released right after new
Apache is released. At the moment the latest version of mod_ssl (2.8.5) is
for Apache 1.3.22, but the latest Apache-SSL is for Apache 1.3.19.

2) mod_ssl is better written and reported to run faster on all platforms.
It better integrates with Apache - without rough patching Apache's code.

3) the documentation is better for mod_ssl. Its mailing list is also more
active and helpful.

4) mod_ssl is easier to install.

5) mod_ssl has more options and much better configurable.


Thanks again to all who responded.
