Apache Week is the weekly guide for users of the Apache Server.
The 19th July issue is out now.

This week, as well as the regular Bug reports and Under Development
columns, we have a special feature on Apache & Secure Transactions.
If you've ever been confused about SSL, export restrictions,
patents or certificate authorities, this article is for
you.

Read Apache Week at <URL:http://www.ukweb.com/support/apacheweek/>

Apache Week is free and updated each Friday.

1. Help with Apache SSL && Apache servers sharing content

Hello. I have a question I haven't been able to find an answer to yet. I'm
setting up several apache and apache ssl boxes. The plan is to have all the
dynamic content on several mod_perl Apache servers and all the static images
on a separate server. This much is done, and works fine. My question is,
can you use images from an http server on an https server. So if you're
on the secure server, and theres an <IMG SRC="http://whatever/foo.jpg"> tag,
should it work? Netscape's ssl server seems to be fine with serving the images,
however the apache ssl server shows the image as a key icon. If you view the
source, the tag is correct, however if you try to view the image, it comes up
as internal-icon-insecure.

Now, the question is, should I be doing this at all? I realize you'll get a
message about secure and insecure elements on the page. Beyond that, is there
a specific reason to not do this? Or why I'm seeing this behavior? Thanks in
advance for any insight. Please CC me in case I miss something here. My news
feed isn't the greatest thing in the world right now.
