- --- 0.Description ---

The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and
maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems
including UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to
provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides
HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.

Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since
April 1996. The November 2005 Netcraft Web Server Survey found
that more than 70% of the web sites on the Internet are using
Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web
servers combined.

mod_status : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_status.html

- From apache site : "The Status module allows a server administrator to
find out how well their server is performing. A HTML page is presented that
gives the current server statistics in an easily readable form. If required
this page can be made to automatically refresh (given a compatible
browser). Another page gives a simple machine-readable list of the current
server state."
