The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an
open-source HTTP server for various modern desktop and server operating
systems, such as UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to
provide a secure, efficient and extensible server which provides HTTP
services in sync with the current HTTP standards.
The 2.x branch of Apache Web Server includes several improvements like
threading, use of APR, native IPv6 and SSL support, and many more.

Note:
Since apache24 does not enable every module by default in httpd.conf the
list of modules to build was preselected to match build param
--enable-modules=most
MPM selection is now an OPTION also if the MPM is build statically or
dynamically. In the later case all modules are build/installed but only
the selected MPM has an entry in httpd.conf (see apache issue 53882)
Per default the MPM prefork (static) will be build, to get the best
compatibility.
Custom variants like itk/peruser are not supported at the moment.
