HTTPS server?

(1/2) > >>

Dariusz Piatkowski:
I'm using Peter Moylan's excellent WebServe 2.4 at the moment to host a few of my thigns, but given the whole move from http to https, I started to think it would be nice to look into this further (have heard some complaints from people that they can't get to my stuff).

Sooo...what are our choices besides the Apache stuff?

Paul Smedley:
I don't think there are any choices on OS/2 other than apache2

Did anyone take a look at nginx?
(I should go look at it, BTW - it's really good for things like reverse proxy).

Paul Smedley:
Many, many moons I liked at nginx, back when it had far less functionality than it does today.

Dariusz Piatkowski:
Thanks for the feedback you guys!

OK, a few more questions:

1) IBM HTTP Server for OS/2
- does anyone know if this supports https? it does support secure connections....and I think this what will enable the https functionality (but, as you can tell, this is not my 'forte' lol)
- this is based on Apache 1.3.12, and Paul's last Apache release is 2.4.52, so I'm guessing if I was to pursue this approach I should be just moving directly to your release instead?

2) BM WebSphere Application Server Standard Edition Version 3
- this seems like overkill for what I want to do
- release notes state it requires 'Lotus Domino Go Web Server Version 4.6.2.6 or later', althoug reading through the release notes I found that the IBM HTTP Server can be used instead of the 'Lotus Domino Go Web Server'

3) Lotus Domino Server 5.0.11
- this is a whole communication suite, so an way too big for my needs

I have all of the above as old downloads that were part of the Warp Professional Services subscription...so they are just sitting there, but I am hesitant to get into these w/o knowing more about their suitability.

#1 is based on the Apache stuff from way back in the day...so it seems like the most suitable choice?

EDIT
====
Reading through the release notes for all of the above I answered some questions, so there are a few updates interspersed throughout the above points.
