NCSA HTTPd is one of the first HTTP / 1.0 standard web servers that became widespread in the early 1990s. Support for the project was discontinued in 1996 as having lost relevance - in fact, Apache 1.0 (1995), consisting of revised NCSA HTTPd texts [1] [2], replaced the NCSA HTTPd.
Latest current version: 1.5.2a.
Developed at the National Center for Supercomputer Applications (NCSA) in 1993 by Rob McCool, based on the CERN httpd code. In 1995, it ceased to be updated due to the fact that its authors left the NCSA. [2]
Versions up to and including 1.4 were published as public domain (public domain); version 1.5 was copyright of the University of Illinois. [2]
Used in conjunction with the Mosaic browser (client) on the World Wide Web. This server introduced the interface between the http server and the Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts, which made it easy to create dynamic websites without writing add-ons or changing the httpd server code.
Differences from Apache: [3]
- Kerberos supported
- CGI programs output process SSI directives
- NIS login and password authentication possible
