Name        : mod_gnutls
Product     : Fedora 16
Version     : 0.5.10
Release     : 1.fc16
URL         : http://modgnutls.sourceforge.net/
Summary     : GnuTLS module for the Apache HTTP server
Description :
mod_gnutls uses the GnuTLS library to provide SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1
encryption for Apache HTTPD.  It is similar to mod_ssl in purpose, but does
not use OpenSSL.  A primary benefit of using this module is the ability to
configure multiple SSL certificates for a single IP-address/port combination
(useful for securing virtual hosts).

Features
    * Support for SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1.
    * Support for client certificates.
    * Support for RFC 5081 OpenPGP certificate authentication.
    * Support for Server Name Indication.
    * Distributed SSL Session Cache via Memcached
    * Local SSL Session Cache using DBM
    * Sets enviromental vars for scripts (compatible with mod_ssl vars)
    * Small and focused code base:
         Lines of code in mod_gnutls: 3,593
         Lines of code in mod_ssl: 15,324
