"The early Apache server was a big hit, but we all knew that the codebase needed a general overhaul and redesign."<p>From the README of the apache_1.3.0 distribution (April 1998) <a href="https://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/</a><p>Love this project.

Surprising to see stuff like this included in a patch release:<p><pre><code> core: Updated conf/mime.types:
