Foil 68 HTTPD - HTTP Daemon

From Overview of Basic Web and Internet Technologies Beijing Web Tutorial -- May 27-30 1997. by Geoffrey Fox *
The HTTP daemon is the server which responds to the Internet service requests on standard port 80 (or on another custom port). The server program is available from NCSA and is easily installed by editing a set of configuration files which give directory locations for documents, cgi scripts, error messages and icons, and which allows for options regarding path names, domain access, and so on.
