Apache is an open source HTTP server. It comprises a small core for HTTP request/response processing and Multi-Processing Modules (MPM) which dispatches data processing to threads and/or processes. Many additional modules are available to extend its core functionality for special purposes.
The following is a list of all the first and third party modules available for the Apache web server:
| Name | Compatibility | Status | Developer(s) | License | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| mod_access | Versions older than 2.1 | Included by Default | Apache Software Foundation | Apache License, Version 2.0 | Provides access control based on the client and the client's request[1] |
| mod_actions | Versions 1.1 and later | Included by Default | Apache Software Foundation | Apache License, Version 2.0 | Provides CGI ability based on request method and media type[2] |
| mod_alias | Versions 1.1 and later | Included by Default | Apache Software Foundation | Apache License, Version 2.0 | Allows for client requests to be mapped to different parts of a server's filesystem and for the requests to be redirected entirely[3] |
| mod_asis | Versions 1.3 and later | Included by Default | Apache Software Foundation | Apache License, Version 2.0 | Allows for the use of files that contain their own HTTP headers[4] |
| mod_aspdotnet | |||||
| mod_auth | Versions older than 2.1 | Included by Default | Apache Software Foundation | Apache License, Version 2.0 | Authenticates users via Basic access authentication by checking against plaintext password and group files.
