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 http://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 + http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/. + + Installation + ------------ + + Please see the file called INSTALL. Platform specific notes can be + found in README.platforms. + + Licensing + --------- + + Please see the file called LICENSE. + + 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 <http://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 + <http://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. + + Contacts + -------- + + o If you want to be informed about new code releases, bug fixes, + security fixes, general news and information about the Apache server + subscribe to the apache-announce mailing list as described under + <http://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-announce> + + o If you want freely available support for running Apache please see the + resources at <http://httpd.apache.org/support.html> + + o If you have a concrete bug report for Apache please see the instructions + for bug reporting at <http://httpd.apache.org/bug_report.html> + + o If you want to participate in actively developing Apache please + subscribe to the `dev@httpd.apache.org' mailing list as described at + <http://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-dev> + |
