After a week of findings, quite numbers of client server application out there.But, at last i have decided to choose a research on the most popular HTTP server, Apache.
Apache HTTP server is an open-source and free software under Apache license, even though is free software license but not under GPL license because it has certain patent termination that does not require by GPL.
Since 1996 it has been the most popular HTTP server and it plays an important role in world wide web growth. The key successful for apache HTTP server is that, it it not dedicated on specific platform, but many. I.e.Unix-like systems, Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare, Mac OS X and other operating systems.
In the earlier version of Apache(version 1.x), it has not been fully optimized for non-Unix Based system, some features may not be functioning well in non-Unix based system. For later version of Apache(version 2.x) improvement will be discuss in the next entry.
