Oracle HTTP Server Components
Oracle HTTP Server consists of several components that run within the same
process. These components provide the extensive list of features that Oracle HTTP
Server offers when handling client requests. Following are the major components:
■
HTTP Listener
: Oracle HTTP Server is based on an Apache HTTP listener to
serve client requests. An HTTP server listener handles incoming requests and
routes them to the appropriate processing utility.
■
Modules (mods)
: Many of the standard Apache modules are included with
Oracle HTTP Server. Oracle also includes several internal modules that are
specific to Oracle Database components.
■
Perl Interpreter
: A persistent Perl runtime environment embedded in Oracle
HTTP Server through
mod_perl
.
Oracle HTTP Server Modules
Table 1–1
identifies the modules shipped with Oracle HTTP Server. Modules extend
the basic functionality of the Web server, and support integration between Oracle
HTTP Server and other Oracle Database components. Note that the list differs from
the Apache open source distribution (given the inclusion of Oracle modules), and
that not all modules are supported by Oracle.
