Description

HTTPd (Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon) is a type of web server software used to host webpages on the Internet. It is the most commonly used server software and is used by almost all web hosting companies. HTTPd is responsible for receiving requests from web browsers, responding to them by sending pages, files, or other data, and managing access to the web server's resources. It is also responsible for handling security, logging, and other administrative tasks. HTTPd is based on the client-server model, and is designed to be extremely reliable and efficient. HTTPd is open source, meaning that it can be freely modified and redistributed by anyone.
