HTTP Server (powered by Apache) and Apache portable runtime application programming interfaces

This topic provides information about the Apache portable runtime (APR) and application programming interfaces (APIs).

Important: Information for this topic supports the latest PTF levels for HTTP Server for i5/OS . It is recommended that you install the latest PTFs to upgrade to the latest level of the HTTP Server for i5/OS. Some of the topics documented here are not available prior to this update.

for more information.

The HTTP Server (powered by Apache) and Apache portable runtime (APR) application programming interfaces (APIs) can be used to write cross-platform Apache modules. For information on how to compile and configure an HTTP Server (powered by Apache) module, see Compile and configure modules on HTTP Server (powered by Apache).

Links to the IBM^® HTTP Server (powered by Apache) and APR APIs are listed below. To write, compile, and configure an HTTP Server (powered by Apache) module, you will need to use both APR Core and HTTP Server (powered by Apache) APIs.

APR Core APIs - The APR APIs are not application specific and may be used with different server types and applications.
HTTP Server (powered by Apache) APIs - The HTTP Server (powered by Apache) APIs are HTTP Server (powered by Apache) specific and are not part of the APR APIs.

Module mod_example provides a simple example of the use of the Apache APIs.
