While ZOPE with Apache-SSL is certainly possible , I personally would
prefer a more tightly coupled structure than the  lightweight server to server
protocols provide(such as the certificate if available of the client
) . Tight integration of the   SSL-Crypto extention with the zserver
would allow security/permission capatibilities to be set on objects based
upon a closed verification chain via client certificates
(2 two majors support genning them with a simple  code fragment.
If encryption and X609v3  are available then zope becomes a FAR more
 interesting possibility for ecommerce. And besides its on the TODO list
for the Zserver... Pyhon SSL modules ARE available in source...
the question is where and how...(and preferably offshore i.e. NON  US
developement).
