Description : glue layer between Perl handlers and the mod_ssl public API
Apache::SSLLookup is a glue layer between Perl handlers and the mod_ssl
public API. Under normal circumstances, you would use $r->subprocess_env() to
glean information about mod_ssl. for example,
$request_is_over_ssl = $r->subprocess_env('HTTPS');
however, this is only possible after mod_ssl runs its fixups - that is, Perl
handlers can only accurately check the subprocess_env table for mod_ssl
information in the PerlResponsePhase or later.
This module allows you to query mod_ssl directly via its public C API at any
point in the request cycle. but without using C, of course.
