  1. ^ The “dynamic content” columns indicate whether the server itself implements the given feature. Other features may be available by delegation (e.g. Apache HTTP Server can delegate to Apache Tomcat for Servlet support).
  2. ^ a b c d This server implements AJP; compatible third-party Servlet containers can be integrated to provide seamless Servlet support.
  3. ^ a b c This server can use mod_mono (Multi-platform) or mod_aspdotnet (win32 only) which will provide ASP.NET support. Cite error: The named reference "ASP" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).
  4. ^ http://freshmeat.net/projects/caudium/?branch_id=31500&release_id=238766 mentions IPv6 support but this is not explicitely specified on http://www.caudium.net/ . Maintainers have been sent a Documentation Update Querry; please remove this warning notice when they update their website

  13. ^ Documentation specifies: bozohttpd originally only ran on NetBSD, but it now supports several modern operating systems such as solaris 8, freebsd and linux. there is no "configure" script, and the distributed Makefile only works with BSD make, however there is a simple Makefile.boot that should work for any make program.
