I just realized that we had our own implementation of the MD5 algorithm
in mod_jk. :(

Would it be worth trying to detect whether or not the host system has
that routine available in any other way (e.g. OpenSSL)?

I suppose if we must support systems without built-in md5 via OpenSSL or
some other crypto library, we will have to baby-sit that code forever
even if it doesn't get compiled on many targets (e.g. Linux, Mac,
Windows, etc.).

the whole MD5 stuff in mod_jk is only used in ajp14 workers. I never saw anyone using a ajp14 worker and I don't know if there is any backend actually supporting ajp14.

I'm going to check the docs for mentions of ajp14 and add an "experimental" flag there - if it is actually mentioned.

That said, there's fortunately no need to think about support for external implementations as long as no one works on making ajp14 functional.

Regards,

Rainer
