Hello,

I'm running a small Apache Webser with SSL (I've built my own CA and I use
self created certificates) for testing-purposes and everything works as
expected. (Apache 2.2.3 and OpenSSL 0.9.8d on SUSE 10.2) But today I
stumbled across the following observation. Please take a look at my
following ssl-global.conf.

As you can see I use the directive AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt
but at the end my certificates have got .pem form.
This might be a dump question but I'm rather new in the Apache-world and so
I wonder why I don't need an AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .pem
directive.

You would only need to use AddType for pem files if you wished to
serve them via http. AddType tells apache what mime type to use when
serving files based on the 'extension'. As for mod_ssl understanding
what format your cert file/bundles are in.. I don't know but I expect
that can be determined by looking at the file contents.
