53a17e7ebf0eec94856bc1c63d4bee52c412f662nd The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant
53a17e7ebf0eec94856bc1c63d4bee52c412f662nd web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP
53a17e7ebf0eec94856bc1c63d4bee52c412f662nd Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the
53a17e7ebf0eec94856bc1c63d4bee52c412f662nd Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the
53a17e7ebf0eec94856bc1c63d4bee52c412f662nd developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust,
53a17e7ebf0eec94856bc1c63d4bee52c412f662nd commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available
53a17e7ebf0eec94856bc1c63d4bee52c412f662nd source code.
