Thanks for your reply.

Well, actually I did exactly what's described in the "man 8 ssl" page (which by 
the way is mentioned in http://openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#HTTPS) but firefox 
returns an error when accessing my server via https. 
As I mentioned in a previous e-mail, lynx displays a message saying:
SSL error:self signed certificate-Continue? (y)

and after pressing enter does display the page.

Now, am I the only one who's using a self-signed cert or am I doing something 
fundamentaly wrong in my setup???
Up to now, I used SSL (self-signed certs only!) with Jetty and the installation 
was very easy. I'm surprised to face this kind of problems with Apache.

Thanks

George
