Depending on what you're doing, this may or may not be a good idea.
IME, apache-ssl is adequate for very basic things, though this happens
to include, for example, most common E-commerce applications. If you
need to do more arcane SSL things -- for example, your site probably
has user certificates, and you'd like to authenticate with a
certificate if possible, but if not, fall back to HTTP basic
authentication -- you'll probably be happier with mod_ssl.
If that previous paragraph made no sense to you, you can ignore this
message. :-)
