MITBSDApache

MITBSDApache is a web server software. It is based on the Apache HTTP Server project but includes modifications and optimizations specific to the BSD operating system family, such as FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. The "MITBSDApache" name reflects its origins, combining elements of the Apache web server, the BSD license, and its targeted operating system.

The primary goal of MITBSDApache is to provide a robust and efficient web serving solution that is well-integrated with the features and performance characteristics of BSD systems. This often involves tailoring Apache's compilation process and configuration options to leverage the unique kernel features and networking stacks found in BSD. Developers may also include specific patches or extensions to enhance security, performance, or compatibility with BSD-specific tools and libraries.

While the core functionality remains that of the Apache HTTP Server, users of MITBSDApache can expect a version that is potentially more performant or stable within a BSD environment compared to a generic Apache build. It aims to provide a native feel and optimized operation for users who prefer the BSD ecosystem for their server infrastructure. The project is typically distributed under a permissive license, allowing for wide adoption and modification.
