– Header files are provided for all supported APIs.
– The sample user module mod_example is provided. This module
demonstrates a use of the Apache APIs.
򐂰 Easy to use IBM Web Administration GUI
The IBM Web Administration for iSeries interface combines forms, tools, and
wizards to create a simplified environment to set up and manage many
different servers and server types on your iSeries server.
򐂰 Support for Server Side Includes (SSI)
SSI tags are comments within HTML that direct the Web server to
dynamically generate information for the page. SSI tags allow a Web
developer to easily include common HTML statements such as headers and
footers, so that they are easily managed and consistent across an entire Web
site. SSI can be used to include static HTML, to call and execute programs
(such as through Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs) to allow the
insertion of results.
Added SSI support includes two varieties of SSI and CGI combinations:
– Parse an HTML document and include the output of a CGI program as
dynamic content on an HTML page.
– Parse the output of a CGI program to resolve SSI tags before returning the
output to the client browser.
򐂰 Support for WebDAV (MOD_DAV)
World Wide Web distributed authoring and versioning is a set of extensions to
the HTTP protocol that allows users to collaborate to edit and manage files on
remote Web servers. WebDAV provides a network protocol to create
interoperable, collaborative applications. Features of the protocol include:
–
Locking (Concurrency Control): Long-duration exclusive and shared-write
locks prevent the overwrite problem, where two or more collaborators write
to the same resource without first merging changes.
–
Properties: XML properties provide storage for arbitrary metadata, such as
a list of authors on Web resources. These properties can effectively be
set, deleted, and retrieved using the DAV protocol.
–
Namespace manipulation: Since resources may need to be copied or
moved as a Web site evolves, DAV supports copy and move operations.
Collections, similar to file system directories, can be created and listed.
򐂰 Support for Apache Module MOD_REWRITE
This module provides a rule-based rewriting engine to rewrite requested
Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) on the fly.
