Hmm. This is quite interesting.
I run my server with
httpd -d . -z ssl
And it works.
But if I run it with
httpd -d . -z ssl -z verify=n
where n is any number including 0, it gives a GPF as you describe.
Looking at the code, it seems like specifying "-z verify=0" is the same
as not giving "-z verify" option at all. Looks like this will bear
further investigation.
Just for the record, these are the versions of the software I use:
NCSA httpd 1.4.2 with the SSL 0.5.1 patch.
SSLeay 0.5.1b
Netscape 2.0
Cheers
Ravi
