HTTP Server Powered by Apache for iSeries (5722-HT1)
iSeries HTTP support includes the Apache HTTP server. Support for Apache is added so that
server instances built using the original iSeries HTTP server can co-exist with Apache-based
server instances.
Apache, a freeware HTTP server, is open-source software that implements the industry
standard HTTP/1.1 protocol. The focus is on being highly configure capable and easily
extendable.
It is built and distributed under the Apache Software License by the Apache Software
Foundation. It is available at:
http://www.apache.org
