right.  but keep in mind that's not the same thing - Torsten is testing an
httpd both with and without mod_ssl _compiled_, which is very different than
requests with and without ssl _enabled_, especially when you need to code
internal logic around the presense of these optional functions.

of course, if you're using mod_ssl compiled in statically the approach won't
work, but it's admirable and required, allt he same.
