Apache HTTP Server
The Apache Project is a collaborative software development
effort aimed at creating a robust,
commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available source code
implementation of an HTTP (Web) server.
Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP Server,
Apache has grown to be the most popular web server on the Internet.
Apache is redistributed as part of various proprietary
software packages including the Oracle Database and the IBM
WebSphere application server
