Does mod_pubcookie work with Apache-SSL?

Evidence suggests that it can be made to work with Apache-SSL, but it isn’t currently supported. To determine if a request uses HTTPS, mod_pubcookie uses the Extended API (ap_hook_call()) extension, which Apache-SSL doesn’t use or install. Therefore, mod_pubcookie.so won’t load since it can’t resolve this function call. The workaround is to comment out the use of ap_hook_call() in mod_pubcookie.c at the price of losing the info that it provides.
