The CERN server version 3.0 does not support SSL. As CERN no longer takes
active part in WWW development, no new versions of the server will be released
from CERN. However, W3C  has taken over the development and we are about to get
a server team running. I can not put a date on when a new version will be
released and exactly what security features it will contain, but we are following
the discussions closely.
