Features

• HTTP Servers - Operates as a high-performance HTTP server designed to handle, route, and serve web traffic.
• Static Website Hosting - Serves static files and directories over HTTP to deliver website content to users.
• HTTP Reverse Proxies - Forwards client requests to backend servers to provide load balancing and security.
• Reverse Proxies - Acts as a reverse proxy server that forwards client requests to backend servers to return responses.
• Proxy Traffic Management - Routes external requests through reverse proxies and load balancers with secure connection handling.
• Virtual Hosting - Hosts multiple distinct domains on a single server instance by mapping requests to specific directory structures.
• SSL/TLS Termination - Decrypts secure connections at the server boundary before processing the plaintext request to offload cryptographic overhead.
• Network Security - Implements transport-layer security to encrypt network sockets between the server and clients.
• SSL/TLS Connection Security - Uses SSL/TLS protocols to encrypt the transport layer and protect data integrity during communication.
• TLS Traffic Encryption - Secures communication channels between clients and the server using SSL/TLS encryption.
• Multi-Process Request Handling - Handles concurrent network connections using a multi-process model to distribute request load across worker processes.
• Multi-Protocol HTTP Serving - Transmits web content to clients using both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 protocols.
• URL-to-Filesystem Mappings - Maps incoming HTTP request paths directly to physical directory structures on the host filesystem to serve files.
• Filesystem Static File Servings - Delivers static files and directories over HTTP via a configured filesystem mapping.
• Dynamic Module Loading - Extends server functionality at runtime by loading compiled shared objects as modules.
• Request Proxying - Acts as an intermediary that forwards requests to backend servers and returns the response to the client.
• HTTP Request Forwarders - Forwards incoming HTTP requests to backend servers using various network addresses.
• Resource Access Restrictions - Provides mechanisms for enforcing authentication and permission requirements on specific files and directories.
• Access Control Lists - Restricts or grants access to specific directories and files based on fine-grained permission sets.
• Authenticated Web File Access - Restricts access to web files using session authentication and network-based IP restrictions.
• Security and Access Control - Restricts site access using authentication modules, encryption, and granular user permissions.
• Access Control - Manages resource access through authentication, role-based permissions, and mandatory control rules.
• Directory-Level Overrides - Applies specific behavior and rules to individual directories using local configuration files.
• Server Capability Extenders - Adds specialized capabilities for URL rewriting and custom processing via a pluggable module system.
• CGI Script Execution - Produces dynamic content by executing external system scripts via the Common Gateway Interface (CGI).
• URL Rewrite Rules - Transforms requested URLs into different paths using a regular expression engine before locating resources.
