NAME

Apache2::ModSSL - a Perl Interface to mod_ssl functions

SYNOPSIS

 use Apache2::ModSSL;

 my $c=$r->connection;
 if( $c->is_https ) {
   $dn=$c->ssl_var_lookup('SSL_SERVER_S_DN');
   $nsComment=$c->ssl_ext_lookup(0, '2.16.840.1.113730.1.13');
 }

ABSTRACT

Apache2::ModSSL adds a few functions that are exported from mod_ssl to the Apache2::Connection class.

METHODS

$c->is_https

is_https() returns 1 if the connection is SSL-encrypted, 0 if it is not encrypted but mod_ssl is available in the apache binary or undef if mod_ssl is not loaded.

$c->ssl_var_lookup(NAME)

ssl_var_lookup() returns the value of an SSL variable. If mod_ssl is not loaded undef is returned. A query for an unknown variable returns an empty string.

For a list of known variables please refer to the mod_ssl documentation or mod_ssl source code (httpd-2.0.52/modules/ssl/ssl_engine_vars.c). At the time of this writing this list includes (not complete):
