<para>Several of the features already provided by Apache in
its role as a robust Web server can be leveraged for
increased functionality or security in Subversion as well.
- Subversion communicates with Apache using Neon, which is a
- generic HTTP/WebDAV library with support for such mechanisms
- as SSL (the Secure Socket Layer, discussed earlier). If
- your Subversion client is built to support SSL, then it can
- access your Apache server
- using <literal>https://</literal>.</para>
+ The Subversion client is able to use SSL, (the Secure Socket
+ Layer, discussed earlier). If your Subversion client is
+ built to support SSL, then it can access your Apache server
+ using <literal>https://</literal> and enjoy a high-quality
+ encrypted network session.</para>
<para>Equally useful are other features of the Apache and
Subversion relationship, such as the ability to specify a
custom port (instead of the default HTTP port 80) or a
virtual domain name by which the Subversion repository
should be accessed, or the ability to access the repository
- through an HTTP proxy. These things are all supported by
- Neon, so Subversion gets that support for free.</para>
+ through an HTTP proxy.</para>
<para>Finally, because <command>mod_dav_svn</command> is
speaking a subset of the WebDAV/DeltaV protocol, it's
possible to access the repository via third-party DAV
clients. Most modern operating systems (Win32, OS X, and
Linux) have the built-in ability to mount a DAV server as a
- standard network share. This is a complicated topic; for
