Re: Is it possible to not force SSL on port:443?

Also, here is my ssl.conf:
---------------------------------
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
AddType application/x-pkcs7-crl    .crl

SSLPassPhraseDialog  builtin

SSLSessionCache         shmcb:/var/cache/mod_ssl/scache(512000)
SSLSessionCacheTimeout  300

SSLMutex default

SSLCryptoDevice builtin

SSLProtocol +All
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:+SHA1:+NULL:+aNULL:+eNULL

SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/urandom 1024
SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/urandom 1024

SSLProxyEngine off
-----------------------------------

Then I setup my vhost like:

<VirtualHost myIP:443>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/websitename/
    ServerName websitename
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/websitename-ssl-error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/websitename-ssl-access.log common
    sslengine on
    sslcertificatefile /etc/httpd/ssl/websitename/websitename.crt
    sslcertificatekeyfile /etc/httpd/ssl/websitename/websitename.key
</VirtualHost>

Right now I am using sslengine off and doing none encryption over 443, but I 
really need to make encryption optional on the same port.

Any ideas?

Sure... you just tell Apache to listen on that port and don't turn the
SSLEngine on.  :)

Or are you asking how to make it *optional*?  You can do that too --
as long as "SSLRequireSSL" isn't set, it should work.
