Apache and openSSL

Does anyone know if Apache comes inbuilt with the openSSL module? or
does openSSL have to be slapped on to apache externally ?
We have a Apache 1.3.28 (I know, very old) and the openSSL version on
that seems to bother the security folks and they are asking us to
upgrade. I was wondering if openSSL comes with the apache or do i slap
on apache externally ?

Please enlighte me with ur experiences on this.

I am not sure what you mean by slapped, but openssl (mod_ssl) is loaded
as a module and built and compiled when you compile and install apache.

I'm not too knowledgeable on compiling Apache with SSL, but I ca
point you to 2 sites where you can find your answer

http://www.apache-ssl.org
