   Anybody know why mod_rewrite doesn't have a version # but mod_ssl does? #Apachehttpd

      @musicman I don’t know, but I could guess that #Apache #mod_ssl probably has versions because they pull in #OpenSSL, which has versioned security releases. Whenever these openssl versions become incompatible, things that hook into it, such as mod_ssl, need to release a new version that is compatible with the new one.
      
      (I guess its rival #ApacheSSL must be completely dead now. I’ve not seen it mentioned anywhere in several years. Also not heard from is #mod_gnutls, which I used on my first self-hosted instance.)

         mod_ssl just has the same version as #ApacheHTTPD

         in this case...
         
         [root@ip-10-250-75-75 modules]# strings `pwd`/mod_ssl.so | grep "mod_ssl/[0-9]\.[0-9]"
         mod_ssl/2.4.37

         @musicman RE: their rival #ApacheSSL, all #DDG found was a Sourceforge project for the Win32 version. Even that hasn’t seen an updated release in a decade ( last code change was 2015 ).
         
         I do see that ApacheSSL ( like #mod_ssl ) releases a version for each #Apache version. https://sourceforge.net/projects/apachessl/files/
