hello every 1 A '''[[web server]]''' (sometimes called an '''HTTP server''' or '''application server''') is a program that serves content using the [[HTTP]] protocol. This content is frequently in the form of [[HTML]] documents, images, and other web resources, but can include any type of file. The content served by the web server can be pre-existing (static content) or generated on the fly (dynamic content).
In order to be considered a ''web server'', an application must implement the HTTP protocol. Applications built on top of web servers (such as blogging software, forums, or wikis) belong in the separate [[:Category:Web software|Web Software]] category.
