Apache Technology Update
There have been enhancements, new
administrative capabilities, and tools added to Apache and the base UNIX
platform.
SYS-ED workshops explain and demonstrate:
- UNIX threading and how UNIX systems with POSIX threads
allow Apache to run in a hybrid multiprocess, multithreaded mode.
-
The rewritten build system based on autoconf and libtool.
-
Support for serving multiprotocols and IPV6.
- The improvements in speed and stability on
non-UNIX platforms; platform-specific MPM: multi-processing modules and the
SPR: Apache Portable Runtime can now be
implemented in their native API.
- The new Apache API which has corrected many
of the module-ordering/-priority problems from version 1.3
- How Apache modules can now
be written as filters which act on the stream of content as it is delivered to
or from the server.
-
Error response messages to the
browser utilize SSI documents and are now provided in several languages.
- The simplified configuration which makes
directives easier to implement.
- The updated Regular Expression Library which
now includes the PCRE: Perl Compatible Regular Expression
Library; all regular expression evaluation now use the Perl 5 syntax.
