Apache HTTPD Modules
Apache HTTPD modules are software components that extend the functionality of the Apache HTTP Server (HTTPD). These modules can be dynamically loaded into the server at runtime, allowing administrators to customize and enhance the server's capabilities according to their specific requirements. Apache HTTPD modules can provide additional features such as Apache HTTPD authentication, Apache HTTPD authorization, Apache HTTPD content filtering, Apache HTTPD caching, Apache HTTPD compression, Apache HTTPD logging, and support for various programming languages and protocols. Modules like mod_rewrite, mod_ssl, and mod_proxy are commonly used to manipulate URLs, enable secure communications via SSL/TLS, and proxy requests to backend servers, respectively. The modular architecture of Apache HTTPD enables developers to create and integrate custom modules tailored to their applications, making it a versatile and powerful web server platform. s://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/developer/modules/
