ben@scuzzy:~/work/suppose-aldigital-tools/bandwidth$ man apxs
No manual entry for apxs

Err. Not where I come from.

Only once Apache has been patched. As is the case for mod_ssl.

Anything is possible, naturally. However, this is not the way it is. I'm
not sure how likely it is ever to be that way in 1.3, since 1.3 is now
frozen, and I doubt that mod_ssl and Apache-SSL will converge
sufficiently to make it happen from the outside.

As I think I mentioned before this is all a non-problem in 2.0. But 2.0
is not ready for production use, of course.

Cheers,

Ben.
