Apache modules supported by IBM HTTP Server
The following Apache modules are supported:
Module Description URL core Core Apache HTTP Server features Link
mpm_winnt
Multi-processing module (MPM) Link worker
MPM Link mod_access Provides access control based on client host name, IP address, or other characteristics of the client request. Link mod_actions Provides for executing CGI scripts, based on media type or request method. Link mod_alias Provides for mapping different parts of the host filesystem in the document tree and for URL redirection. Link mod_asis Sends files that contain their own HTTP headers. Link mod_auth User authentication using text files. Link mod_auth_anon Allows "anonymous" user access to authenticated areas. Link mod_auth_dbm Provides for user authentication using DBM files. Link mod_auth_ldap
Provides LDAP authentication. The mod_auth_ldap module works in conjunction with mod_ldap. Link mod_autoindex Generates directory indexes automatically, similar to: ls command
dir shell command
Link mod_cache Content cache keyed to URIs.
The recommended file handle caching mechanism is the CacheEnable feature of mod_cache.
Use the CacheEnable feature of mod_cache, instead of mod_file_cache, which is not supported.
mod_cgi
Execution of CGI scripts. Link mod_cgid
Execution of CGI scripts using an external CGI daemon. Link mod_charset_lite
Provides translation of content, translating the character set of pages that are stored in EBCDIC. Link
mod_dav
Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) functionality.
Although mod_dav and mod_dav_fs are not supported, IBM HTTP Server and the WebSphere plug-in can pass through WebDAV requests to WebSphere.
Link
mod_dav_fs
File system provider for mod_dav. Link mod_deflate Compress content before it is delivered to the client. Link mod_dir Provides for "trailing slash" redirects and serving directory index files. Link mod_env Content cache storage manager keyed to URIs. Link mod_expires Generation of Expires HTTP headers according to user-specified criteria. Link
mod_ext_filter
Pass the response body through an external program before delivery to the client. Link
mod_file_cache
Caches a static list of files in memory.
The recommended file handle caching mechanism is the CacheEnable feature of mod_cache.
Link mod_headers Customization of HTTP request and response headers. Link mod_imap Server-side image map processing. Link mod_include Server-parsed html documents (Server Side Includes). Link mod_info Provides a comprehensive overview of the server configuration. Link
mod_isapi
ISAPI extensions within Apache. Link mod_ldap
Provides LDAP connection pooling and caching. The mod_ldap module works in conjunction with mod_auth_ldap. Link mod_log_config Logging of the requests made to the server. Link mod_mem_cache Content cache keyed to URIs. Link mod_mime Associates the requested extensions for a filename with the behavior of the file (handlers and filters), and content (mime-type, language, character set and encoding). Link
mod_mime_magic
Determines the MIME type of a file by looking at a few bytes of its contents.
Using mod_mime_magic can decrease performance because the file must be read and compared to a set of patterns to determine the content- type.
Link mod_negotiation Provides for content negotiation. Link mod_proxy HTTP/1.1 proxy/gateway server Link mod_proxy_connect mod_proxy extension for CONNECT request handling. Link
mod_proxy_ftp
FTP support module for mod_proxy. Link mod_proxy_http HTTP support module for mod_proxy. Link mod_rewrite Provides a rule-based rewriting engine to rewrite requested URLs on the fly. Link mod_setenvif Enables the setting of environment variables based on characteristics of the request. Link mod_so Loading of executable code and modules into the server at start-up or restart time. Link mod_speling Attempts to correct mistaken URLs that users might have entered by ignoring capitalization and by allowing up to one misspelling. Link mod_status Provides information on server activity and performance. Link mod_unique_id Provides an environment variable with a unique identifier for each request. Link mod_userdir User-specific directories. Link mod_usertrack Clickstream logging of user activity on a site. Link mod_vhost_alias Provides for dynamically configured mass virtual hosting. Link
