Apache官方在今天放出产品系列2.2的最新版本2.2.11的源码包 最流行的HTTP服务器软件之一

    <dt><a name="htaccess" id="htaccess">.htaccess</a></dt> 
    <dd>A <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#configurationfile" title="see glossary">configuration file</a> that
      is placed inside the web tree and applies configuration <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#directive" title="see glossary">directives</a> to the directory where it is
      placed and all sub-directories.  Despite its name, this file can hold
      almost any type of directive, not just access-control directives.<br />
      See: <a href="configuring.html">Configuration Files</a>
    </dd>

    <dt><a name="httpd.conf" id="httpd.conf">httpd.conf</a></dt>
    <dd>The main Apache <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#configurationfile" title="see glossary">configuration
      file</a>.  The default location is
      <code>/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf</code>, but it may be moved using
      run-time or compile-time configuration.<br />
      See: <a href="configuring.html">Configuration Files</a>

    <dt><a name="hypertexttransferprotocol" id="hypertexttransferprotocol">HyperText Transfer Protocol</a>
      <a name="http" id="hhtp">(HTTP)</a></dt>
    <dd>The standard transmission protocol used on the World Wide Web.  Apache
      implements version 1.1 of the protocol, referred to as HTTP/1.1 and
      defined by <a href="http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC 2616</a>.
    </dd>

    <dt><a name="https" id="https">HTTPS</a></dt>
    <dd>The HyperText Transfer Protocol (Secure), the standard encrypted
      communication mechanism on the World Wide Web. This is actually just HTTP
      over <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#ssl" title="see glossary">SSL</a>.<br />
      See: <a href="ssl/">SSL/TLS Encryption</a>
    </dd> 

    <dt><a name="method" id="method">Method</a></dt>
    <dd>In the context of <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#http" title="see glossary">HTTP</a>, an action to
      perform on a resource, specified on the request line by the client.  Some
      of the methods available in HTTP are <code>GET</code>, <code>POST</code>,
      and <code>PUT</code>.
    </dd> 
    
    <dt><a name="messagedigest" id="messagedigest">Message Digest</a></dt>
    <dd>A hash of a message, which can be used to verify that the contents of
      the message have not been altered in transit.<br />
      See: <a href="ssl/">SSL/TLS Encryption</a>
    </dd>

    <dt><a name="mime-type" id="mime-type">MIME-type</a></dt>
    <dd>A way to describe the kind of document being transmitted.  Its name
      comes from that fact that its format is borrowed from the Multipurpose
      Internet Mail Extensions.  It consists of a major type and a minor type,
      separated by a slash.  Some examples are <code>text/html</code>,
      <code>image/gif</code>, and <code>application/octet-stream</code>.  In
      HTTP, the MIME-type is transmitted in the <code>Content-Type</code>

      See: <a href="mod/mod_mime.html">mod_mime</a>
    </dd>

    <dt><a name="module" id="module">Module</a></dt>
    <dd>An independent part of a program.  Much of Apache's functionality is
      contained in modules that you can choose to include or exclude.  Modules
      that are compiled into the Apache <code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> binary are
      called <dfn>static modules</dfn>, while modules that are stored
      separately and can be optionally loaded at run-time are called
      <dfn>dynamic modules</dfn> or <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#dso" title="see glossary">DSOs</a>.
      Modules that are included by default
      are called <dfn>base modules</dfn>. Many modules are available for Apache
      that are not distributed as part of the Apache HTTP Server <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#tarball" title="see glossary">tarball</a>.  These are referred to as
      <dfn>third-party modules</dfn>.<br />
      See: <a href="mod/">Module Index</a>
    </dd>

    <dt><a name="modulemagicnumber" id="modulemagicnumber">Module Magic
      Number</a> (<a name="mmn" id="mmn">MMN</a>)</dt>
    <dd>Module Magic Number is a constant defined in the Apache source code that
      is associated with binary compatibility of modules. It is changed when
      internal Apache structures, function calls and other significant parts of
      API change in such a way that binary compatibility cannot be guaranteed
      any more. On MMN change, all third party modules have to be at least
      recompiled, sometimes even slightly changed in order to work with the new
      version of Apache.

    </dd>

    <dt><a name="passphrase" id="passphrase">Pass Phrase</a></dt>
    <dd>The word or phrase that protects private key files. It prevents
      unauthorized users from encrypting them. Usually it's just the secret
      encryption/decryption key used for <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#cipher" title="see glossary">Ciphers</a>.<br />

    <dd>The secret key in a <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#publickeycryptography" title="see glossary">Public Key
      Cryptography</a> system, used to decrypt incoming messages and
      sign outgoing ones.<br />
      See: <a href="ssl/">SSL/TLS Encryption</a>
    </dd>
    
    <dt><a name="proxy" id="proxy">Proxy</a></dt>
    <dd>An intermediate server that sits between the client and the <em>origin
        server</em>.  It accepts requests from clients, transmits those requests
      on to the origin server, and then returns the response from the origin
      server to the client.  If several clients request the same content, the
      proxy can deliver that content from its cache, rather than requesting it
      from the origin server each time, thereby reducing response time.<br />
      See: <a href="mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a>
    </dd>

    <dt><a name="publickey" id="publickey">Public Key</a></dt>
    <dd>The publicly available key in a <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#publickeycryptography" title="see glossary">Public Key Cryptography</a> system,
      used to encrypt messages bound for its owner and to decrypt signatures
      made by its owner.<br />
      See: <a href="ssl/">SSL/TLS Encryption</a>
    </dd>

    <dt><a name="publickeycryptography" id="publickeycryptography">Public Key Cryptography</a></dt>
    <dd>The study and application of asymmetric encryption systems, which use
      one key for encryption and another for decryption. A corresponding pair of
      such keys constitutes a key pair. Also called Asymmetric Cryptography.

    <dt><a name="regularexpresion" id="regularexpresion">Regular Expression</a>
      <a name="regex" id="regex">(Regex)</a></dt>
    <dd>A way of describing a pattern in text - for example, "all the words that
      begin with the letter A" or "every 10-digit phone number" or even "Every
      sentence with two commas in it, and no capital letter Q". Regular
      expressions are useful in Apache because they let you apply certain
      attributes against collections of files or resources in very flexible ways
      - for example, all .gif and .jpg files under any "images" directory could
      be written as "<code>/images/.*(jpg|gif)$</code>".  Apache uses Perl
      Compatible Regular Expressions provided by the <a href="http://www.pcre.org/">PCRE</a> library.

    <dd>A <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#proxy" title="see glossary">proxy</a> server that appears to the client
      as if it is an <em>origin server</em>.  This is useful to hide the real
      origin server from the client for security reasons, or to load balance.

        Layer Security</a> <a name="tls" id="tls">(TLS)</a></dt>
    <dd>The successor protocol to SSL, created by the Internet Engineering Task
      Force (IETF) for general communication authentication and encryption over
      TCP/IP networks. TLS version 1 is nearly identical with SSL version 3.<br />

    <dd>Serving multiple websites using a single instance of Apache.  <em>IP
      virtual hosting</em> differentiates between websites based on their IP
      address, while <em>name-based virtual hosting</em> uses only the name of the
      host and can therefore host many sites on the same IP address.<br />
