Apache Module mod_deflate Description: Compress content before it is delivered to the client Status: Extension ModuleIdentifier: deflate_module SourceFile: mod_deflate.c Summary The mod_deflate module provides the DEFLATE output filter that allows output from your server to be compressed before being sent to the client over the network. Supported Encodings The gzip encoding is the only one supported to ensure complete compatibility with old browser implementations. The deflate encoding i

Name-based Virtual Host Support This document describes when and how to use name-based virtual hosts. Name-based vs. IP-based Virtual Hosts IP-based virtual hosts use the IP address of the connection to determine the correct virtual host to serve. Therefore you need to have a separate IP address for each host. With name-based virtual hosting, the server relies on the client to report the hostname as part of the HTTP headers. Using this technique, many different hosts can share the same IP

Apache Module mod_ssl Description: Strong cryptography using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols Status: Extension ModuleIdentifier: ssl_module SourceFile: mod_ssl.c Summary This module provides SSL v3 and TLS v1.x support for the Apache HTTP Server. SSL v2 is no longer supported. This module relies on OpenSSL to provide the cryptography engine. Further details, discussion, and examples are provided in the SSL documentation. Environment Variables T

htdbm - Manipulate DBM password databases htdbm is used to manipulate the DBM format files used to store usernames and password for basic authentication of HTTP users via mod_authn_dbm. See the dbmmanage documentation for more information about these DBM files.

Apache Module mod_log_config Description: Logging of the requests made to the server Status: Base ModuleIdentifier: log_config_module SourceFile: mod_log_config.c Summary This module provides for flexible logging of client requests. Logs are written in a customizable format, and may be written directly to a file, or to an external program. Conditional logging is provided so that individual requests may be included or excluded from the logs based on characteristics of the request. Three direc

htcacheclean - Clean up the disk cache htcacheclean is used to keep the size of mod_cache_disk's storage within a given size limit, or limit on inodes in use. This tool can run either manually or in daemon mode. When running in daemon mode, it sleeps in the background and checks the cache directory at regular intervals for cached content to be removed. You can stop the daemon cleanly by sending it a TERM or INT signal. When run manually, a once off check of the cache directory is made for cach

Apache Module mod_usertrack Description: Clickstream logging of user activity on a site Status: Extension ModuleIdentifier: usertrack_module SourceFile: mod_usertrack.c Summary Provides tracking of a user through your website via browser cookies. Logging mod_usertrack sets a cookie which can be logged via mod_log_config configurable logging formats: LogFormat "%{Apache}n %r %t" usertrack CustomLog logs/clickstream.log usertrack CookieDomain Directive Description: The domain to which

Apache Module mod_dir Description: Provides for "trailing slash" redirects and serving directory index files Status: Base ModuleIdentifier: dir_module SourceFile: mod_dir.c Summary The index of a directory can come from one of two sources: A file written by the user, typically called index.html. The DirectoryIndex directive sets the name of this file. This is controlled by mod_dir. Otherwise, a listing generated by the server. This is provided by mod_autoindex. The two functions are separa

Apache Module mod_proxy Description: Multi-protocol proxy/gateway server Status: Extension ModuleIdentifier: proxy_module SourceFile: mod_proxy.c Summary Warning Do not enable proxying with ProxyRequests until you have secured your server. Open proxy servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at large. mod_proxy and related modules implement a proxy/gateway for Apache HTTP Server, supporting a number of popular protocols as well as several different load balancing algor
