maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems
including UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to
provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides
- HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.

+CONFIG_HTTPD_MPM
+ The worker MPM uses multiple child processes with many threads each.
+ Each thread handles one connection at a time.
+ Worker generally is a good choice for high-traffic servers because it
+ has a smaller memory footprint than the prefork MPM.
+ The prefork MPM uses multiple child processes with one thread each.
+ Each process handles one connection at a time.
+ On many systems, prefork is comparable in speed to worker, but it uses more memory.
+ Prefork's threadless design has advantages over worker in some situations:
+ it can be used with non-thread-safe third-party modules, and it is easier to
+ debug on platforms with poor thread debugging support.
+CONFIG_HTTPD_NONPORTATOM
+ By default, APR uses mutex-based atomics on Linux.
+ If you configure with --enable-nonportable-atomics, however,
+ APR generates code that uses a 486 opcode for fast hardware compare-and-swap.
+ This will result in more efficient atomic operations,
+ but the resulting executable will run only on 486 and later chips (and not on 386).
+CONFIG_HTTPD_SUEXEC
+ mod_suexec - Allows CGI scripts to run as a specified user and Group
