NCSA server

NCSA httpd was written by Rob McCool while at NCSA. It is a fully featured Web server for UNIX systems, with support for configurable mapping of URLs to files, access authorization, and automatic generation of directory indexes.

It is available at no charge in binary form for many UNIX workstations (including: Digital Equipment Alpha (AXP), Digital Equipment Ultrix, Hewlett Packard HP/UX, IBM RS/6000, Silicon Graphics IRIX and Sun Microsystems SunOS) and in source form:

ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Web/httpd/Unix/ncsa_httpd/current/httpd_source.tar.Z

The most recent version is 1.3, which was released into the public domain in May 1994.
