Bug ID: 70114
Summary: README outdated (“the most popular web server on the
Internet”)
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.68
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The “What is it?” section of the README starts with:
> The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant web
> server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP Server, it
> has grown to be the most popular web server on the Internet.
>
I find this misleading, implying or strongly suggesting that httpd is the most
popular web server on the Internet. But as reported in ticket #70039, according
to a survey Apache itself cites, httpd would not have been #1 for 7 to 10
years.
By the way:
1. Even in technical circles, very few know the NCSA HTTP Server.
2. The paragraph’s last sentence suggests httpd is not yet “robust,
commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available
source code”. I consider httpd robust, commercial-grade and standards-based,
and its source code is freely available.
