Apache

World-Wide Web, project A open source HTTP server for

Unix, Windows NT, and other platforms. Apache was

developed in early 1995, based on code and ideas found in the

most popular HTTP server of the time, NCSA httpd 1.3. It

has since evolved to rival (and probably surpass) almost any

other Unix based HTTP server in terms of functionality, and

speed. Since April 1996 Apache has been the most popular HTTP

server on the Internet, in May 1999 it was running on 57% of

all web servers.

It features highly configurable error messages, DBM-based

authentication databases, and content negotiation.

Latest version: 1.3.9, as of 1999-10-27.
