HTTPD - The Server Daemon

HTTPD is the daemon that WWW Servers run to talk with clients using the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Here is a comparison of httpd servers. A great comparison is at Web Compare

Here is a list of available daemons (mostly reorganized from W3's W3 Server Software list.)

- GN - A single server providing both HTTP and Gopher access to the same data. In C, General Public License. Designed to help servers transition from gopher to WWW. One of the biggest differences is that the security model for Gn is much stronger than that of the httpd's. Instead of letting the remote user get at anything unless you actively prevent them, Gn only gives access if you explicity allow it. Platforms: unix.
