The NCSA HTTPd was a web server originally developed at the NCSA by Robert McCool and others. It was among the earliest web servers developed, following Tim Berners-Lee's CERN HTTPd, Tony Sanders' Plexus server, and some others. It was for some time the natural counterpart to the Mosaic web browser in the client-server World Wide Web. It also introduced the Common Gateway Interface, allowing for the creation of dynamic websites.
Development of NCSA HTTPd was suspended in 1998, but the code lived on for a while in the Apache project, which now runs approximately half of Internet web servers. The NCSA code has since been removed from Apache, as part of a rewrite.
