Nostalgia

When searching for help with hpux + http authentication issues came accross the original Apache http server anouncement on comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix from 1995.

Folks, we in the Apache Group are happy to announce a new public-domain HTTP
server based on patches to NCSA's 1.3 httpd called "Apache".  It fixes many
bugs, in both performance and functionality, and it includes the following
new features: 
 
      Content negotiation (for all you who want to do HTML 3 right!)
      Multiple Domain Names (http://foo.com/ & http://bar.com/)
      Custom error responses (internal redirects to pages or script)
      Send "as is" file types - for including HTTP headers with documents
      More HTTP spec compliance
      DBM-file based user authentication

Ah.. the good old days
