This from the Apache web site:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/platfo ... .html#cust

...Because Apache for Windows is multithreaded, it does not use a separate process for each request, as Apache does with Unix. Instead there are usually only two Apache processes running: a parent process, and a child which handles the requests. Within the child each request is handled by a separate thread...

With regard to the question you edited out re only having an ssl only server (not sure wether or not this would apply to XAMPP's Windows implementaion of Apache):
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_howto.html

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/

This can also be achieved by using a mod_rewrite rule to send all request for http to https on a domain by domain basis.

You can search for a rule using Google which might come up with an already made up rule, or failing that, you can research mod_rewrite and the rewriteengine. A good place to start might be here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/

http://www.google.com/search?q=rewrite_module

Or you can use the Virtual Host Directive for a domain using
xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
as an example implementation to work with inside a Virtual Host container.

Most of the details with regard to directives including the virtualhost directive can be found here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html

If you come up with an ssl solution after doing some research and you feel it might benefit other Forum Members then please feel free to post a nice "how-to..." - thanks in advance.

thanks for the thread/child explanation I was looking for that!

well, I figured out how to use modrewrite:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]


Also ssl-only users can disable listen 80 (dirrrty trick lmao)
