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 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.
