In this context, I would like to express my humble opinion: "Apache HataraCo" HataraCo (Hatara-ko) means "Let's work!" or "Hey you, work hard!" 1. H T R Co that's for "HTTP and Related COmponents". 2. Client-side HTTP Components would say "Apache HataraCo (Work hard!)" and the Apache HTTP Server might respond, "It Works!" -- :-) # It takes me back to the good old days when I encountered Mosaic # Browser and NCSA HTTP Server (in 1993) as a student of the # University of Tokyo.
