NCSA HTTPd
The
NCSA HTTPd was a
Web server originally developed at the
NCSA by
Marc Andreessen and others. It was the second web server developed, following
Tim Berners-Lee's first web server developed at
CERN. It was for some time the natural counterpart to the
Mosaic web browser in the
client-server World Wide Web. It also introduced the
Common Gateway Interface, allowing for the creation of dynamic websites.
Development of NCSA HTTPd was suspended in 1998, but the code lives on the Apache project, which now runs approximately two-thirds of Internet web servers.
