There are *no* hooks for Apache/1.0.0 to do pgp encrypted traffic.  Nor
are there any in NCSA's 1.4/1.5 servers.  There *used* to be comments
mentioning PGP in the source code for NCSA 1.3 (upon which early
versions of the Apache webserver were based).  NCSA were invited to
remove these by a US government agency.  Apache Group followed suit
shortly afterwards.

Cheers,
Ay.
