There are a bunch of applications for using http with encrypted authentication without encrypted data. For example, in 'cloud computing application' (which what I am build somewhat is), you want password protection/checking for checking at a different stage. However if you have to move TBs

what if one simply doesn't care if the data is encrypted during transmission?. The data I move to an object store, basically files, could already be stored encrypted. Also, hardware encrypters don't have a need for encrypting data again. Encrypting it again is just a waste of A LOT of bandwith

Can't you just use stunnel for the TLS part? According to some information on the net it can be configured to use null cipher without recompilation. IMO it should be compatible with 'normal' HTTPS, save for things like virtualhost name extension. If HTTPS compatibility matters to you at all, bec

It should be straightforward to patch mod_ssl to accept null ciphers, for such an unusual use case, but it isn't something we would likely accept in the ASF distribution for the reasons I outlined. that would be fine, this is cluster that needs to move a lot data internally in a very short am
