Apache Now the Leader in SSL Servers?

Posted by Zonk on from the moving-on-up dept.

miller60 writes "Apache has overtaken Microsoft as the leading developer of secure web servers, according to Netcraft's monthly SSL survey. Apache now runs on 44.0% of secure web sites, compared to 43.8% for Microsoft. Apache's recent gains are attributed to the inclusion of mod_ssl in version 2, and strong growth of SSL-enabled sites in non-US markets where Apache has stronger market share."

    Sure Apache may have more installs than Microsoft but if you go by dollar value of product shipped I am sure that Microsoft is still way out in front of Apache!

    Everyone knows that if you have nothing to hide, you don't need to encrypt your communications traffic. This obviously means that terrorists are using open source software more often now! We need a law banning open source software now!
