| Apache HTTP Server | ||
|
|
||
| What is it? | ||
| ----------- | ||
|
|
||
| The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant | ||
| web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP | ||
| Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the | ||
| Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the | ||
| developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust, | ||
| commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available | ||
| source code. | ||
|
|
||
| The Latest Version | ||
| ------------------ | ||
|
|
||
| Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache HTTP | ||
| server project page under https://httpd.apache.org/. | ||
|
|
||
| Documentation | ||
| ------------- | ||
|
|
||
| The documentation available as of the date of this release is | ||
| included in HTML format in the docs/manual/ directory. The most | ||
| up-to-date documentation can be found at | ||
| https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/. | ||
|
|
||
| Installation | ||
| ------------ | ||
|
|
||
| Please see the file called INSTALL. Platform specific notes can be | ||
| found in README.platforms. | ||

| Cryptographic Software Notice | ||
| ----------------------------- | ||
|
|
||
| This distribution may include software that has been designed for use | ||
| with cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside | ||
| may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export | ||
| to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption | ||
| software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies | ||
| concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption | ||
| software, to see if this is permitted. See <https://www.wassenaar.org/> | ||
| for more information. | ||
|
|
||
| The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and | ||
| Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity | ||
| Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security | ||
| software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric | ||
| algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation | ||
| distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception | ||
| ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS | ||
| Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object | ||
| code and source code. | ||
|
|
||
| The following provides more details on the included files that | ||
| may be subject to export controls on cryptographic software: | ||
|
|
||
| Apache httpd 2.0 and later versions include the mod_ssl module under | ||
| modules/ssl/ | ||
| for configuring and listening to connections over SSL encrypted | ||
| network sockets by performing calls to a general-purpose encryption | ||
| library, such as OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific | ||
| SSL facilities. | ||
|
|
||
| In addition, some versions of apr-util provide an abstract interface | ||
| for symmetrical cryptographic functions that make use of a | ||
| general-purpose encryption library, such as OpenSSL, NSS, or the | ||
| operating system's platform-specific facilities. This interface is | ||
| known as the apr_crypto interface, with implementation beneath the | ||
| /crypto directory. The apr_crypto interface is used by the | ||
| mod_session_crypto module available under | ||
| modules/session | ||
| for optional encryption of session information. | ||
|
|
||
| Some object code distributions of Apache httpd, indicated with the | ||
| word "crypto" in the package name, may include object code for the | ||
| OpenSSL encryption library as distributed in open source form from | ||
| <https://www.openssl.org/source/>. | ||
|
|
||
| The above files are optional and may be removed if the cryptographic | ||
| functionality is not desired or needs to be excluded from redistribution. | ||
| Distribution packages of Apache httpd that include the word "nossl" | ||
| in the package name have been created without the above files and are | ||
| therefore not subject to this notice. | ||
