World Colleges Information

When the World Wide Web was born, there was only one web server and one web client. The httpd web server was developed by the Centre d’Etudes et de Recherche Nucléaires (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. httpd has since become the generic name of the binary executable of many web servers. When CERN stopped funding the development of httpd, it was taken over by the Software Development Group of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA).
