Apache HTTP Server

# Apache HTTP Server
|
||||
|
||||
What is it?
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
## 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.

## 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/>
|

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
|

|
||||
|
||||
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.

|

library, such as OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific

|
||||
|

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

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.
