  1. Apache HTTP Server
  2. What is it?
  3. -----------
  4. The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant
  5. web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP
  6. Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the
  7. Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the
  8. developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust,
  9. commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available
  10. source code.
  11. The Latest Version
  12. ------------------
  13. Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache HTTP
  14. server project page under http://httpd.apache.org/.
  15. Documentation
  16. -------------
  17. The documentation available as of the date of this release is
  18. included in HTML format in the docs/manual/ directory. The most
  19. up-to-date documentation can be found at
  20. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/.
  21. Installation
  22. ------------
  23. Please see the file called INSTALL. Platform specific notes can be
  24. found in README.platforms.
  25. Licensing
  26. ---------
  27. Please see the file called LICENSE.
  28. Cryptographic Software Notice
  29. -----------------------------
  30. This distribution may include software that has been designed for use
  31. with cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside
  32. may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export
  33. to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption
  34. software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies
  35. concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption
  36. software, to see if this is permitted. See <http://www.wassenaar.org/>
  37. for more information.
  38. The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and
  39. Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity
  40. Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security
  41. software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric
  42. algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation
  43. distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception
  44. ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS
  45. Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object
  46. code and source code.
  47. The following provides more details on the included files that
  48. may be subject to export controls on cryptographic software:
  49. Apache httpd 2.0 and later versions include the mod_ssl module under
  50. modules/ssl/
  51. for configuring and listening to connections over SSL encrypted
  52. network sockets by performing calls to a general-purpose encryption
  53. library, such as OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific
  54. SSL facilities.
  55. In addition, some versions of apr-util provide an abstract interface
  56. for symmetrical cryptographic functions that make use of a
  57. general-purpose encryption library, such as OpenSSL, NSS, or the
  58. operating system's platform-specific facilities. This interface is
  59. known as the apr_crypto interface, with implementation beneath the
  60. /crypto directory. The apr_crypto interface is used by the
  61. mod_session_crypto module available under
  62. modules/session
  63. for optional encryption of session information.
  64. Some object code distributions of Apache httpd, indicated with the
  65. word "crypto" in the package name, may include object code for the
  66. OpenSSL encryption library as distributed in open source form from
  67. <http://www.openssl.org/source/>.
  68. The above files are optional and may be removed if the cryptographic
  69. functionality is not desired or needs to be excluded from redistribution.
  70. Distribution packages of Apache httpd that include the word "nossl"
  71. in the package name have been created without the above files and are
  72. therefore not subject to this notice.
