This section contains information on different http server software packages and additional server side tools like script languages for CGI programs etc.
For a technical description on the http mechanism, take a look at the RFC documents menitoned in the chapter "For further reading" of this HOWTO.
As the cern original httpd server is reported to have some ugly bugs, to be quite slow and resource hungry, it is not described in this HOWTO by now. If you volunteer to admit some facts or chapters, please send them to me, I'll add them to this doc.
