Apache for MPE/iX
Feature Set
Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information generated by the web
server and sent back to the browser for storage. For
each subsequent request from the same client, the
cookie is returned to the server. Cookies are useful for
tracking what clients are accessing on a server.
Server-side Imagemaps
Server-side imagemaps are zones defined in an image
that, when clicked, will send the client to a different
URL.
URL Alias and Redirection
One part of the server's file system is mapped to
another part when URL aliasing or redirection are
used. This is useful for moving documents outside of
the document tree.
Directory Indexing
For URLs ending in a "/" (a directory request), Apache
will return either an index file or a directory listing.
The behavior is determined by what is configured in the
httpd.conf file.
Fix Typos in URLS
Apache will correct single character misspellings in a
URL and will return the file it thinks you want.
As-is Files
Apache has the ability to send documents to a client
without HTTP headers. This is useful for document
writers who what to write their own headers.
