Dear reader,
I posted a question about xampp and ssl/tls. But I think that that question
maybe isn't relevant. I read somewhere that TLS/SSL is a completely Apache
'issue', in the sense that my PHP files aren't affected (e.g. I don't have
to change my source files).
Is this correct?
With kind regards,
Dennis van Weelden

Well, yes, you are! In simple terms, TLS/SSL only affects ('modifies') the
content that is transferred, no matter what content it is, or how it was
generated. More technically speaking: According to the OSI-model, TLS/SSL
is on a lower layer than HTTP (and thus not restricted to allow only
HTTPS).
HTH,
