<dd>A perl script that aids in compiling <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#module" title="see glossary">module</a> sources into Dynamic Shared Objects
(<a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#dso" title="see glossary">DSO</a>s) and helps install them in the
<dd>A data record used for authenticating network entities such
as a server or a client. A certificate contains X.509 information pieces
about its owner (called the subject) and the signing <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#certificationauthority" title="see glossary">Certification Authority</a> (called
the issuer), plus the owner's <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#publickey" title="see glossary">public

<dd>A <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#configurationfile" title="see glossary">configuration file</a> that
is placed inside the web tree and applies configuration <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#directive" title="see glossary">directives</a> to the directory where it is
placed and all sub-directories. Despite its name, this file can hold
almost any type of directive, not just access-control directives.<br />
<dd>An independent part of a program. Much of Apache's functionality is
contained in modules that you can choose to include or exclude. Modules
that are compiled into the Apache <code class="program"><a href="./programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> binary are
called <dfn>static modules</dfn>, while modules that are stored
separately and can be optionally loaded at run-time are called
<dfn>dynamic modules</dfn> or <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#dso" title="see glossary">DSOs</a>.
Modules that are included by default
are called <dfn>base modules</dfn>. Many modules are available for Apache
that are not distributed as part of the Apache HTTP Server <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#tarball" title="see glossary">tarball</a>. These are referred to as
<dd>The publicly available key in a <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#publickeycryptography" title="see glossary">Public Key Cryptography</a> system,
used to encrypt messages bound for its owner and to decrypt signatures
<dd>The name/address of a resource on the Internet. This is the common
informal term for what is formally called a <a class="glossarylink" href="./glossary.html#uniformresourceidentifier" title="see glossary">Uniform Resource Identifier</a>.
URLs are usually made up of a scheme, like <code>http</code> or
