9e3a7b0faf417a10f5f689edf288807b2d5eedc5Brian Wellington The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant
9e3a7b0faf417a10f5f689edf288807b2d5eedc5Brian Wellington web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP
9e3a7b0faf417a10f5f689edf288807b2d5eedc5Brian Wellington Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the
9e3a7b0faf417a10f5f689edf288807b2d5eedc5Brian Wellington Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the
9e3a7b0faf417a10f5f689edf288807b2d5eedc5Brian Wellington developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust,
