WebServerConsiderations

• Listeners (IP addresses and Ports)
• Http Headers (What the client sends to the server and vice versa)
• Directories (mapping URL's to actual paths)
• URL aliases and other advanced URL construction issues
• CGI (how is it different from regular files?)
• Transport (http or https)
• SSL as a security method - what is accomplished for both client and server
• Internationalization on the server-side
• Mod's for Apache - what is being done to URL's and the protocol
• Protocol converters, adapters, tunnels, etc.
