摘要

Web servers are very popular today because they help us to get where we go on the Internet. The primary and most important function of any web server is to translate a URL either into a file name to be sent back over the Internet, or into a program name to be run. A web server offers the following functionalities. 1. Multitasking - The server can handle more than one request at a time. 2. Offering different formats - You can get the files in your choice of format. 3. Acting as a proxy - The proxy receives the requests and forwards them to the real server and then sends the real server's response back to the client. These features make the web server an attractive and powerful Internet tool.
