We have already described client/server computing and the revolution in computing architecture brought about by client/server computing. You already know that a server is a computer attached to a network that stores files, controls peripheral devices, interfaces with the outside world—including the Internet—and does some processing for other computers on the network.
我們已經(jīng)描述了客戶機(jī)/服務(wù)器計(jì)算技術(shù)及其在計(jì)算機(jī)技術(shù)結(jié)構(gòu)中引起的革命。你已經(jīng)知道服務(wù)器是一臺(tái)聯(lián)接到網(wǎng)絡(luò)的計(jì)算機(jī)，用于儲(chǔ)存文件、控制外設(shè)、與外界——包括因特網(wǎng)接口，且為網(wǎng)絡(luò)上的其他計(jì)算機(jī)進(jìn)行一些處理。
But what is a Web server? Web server software refers to the software that enables a computer to deliver Web pages written in HTML to client machines on a network that request this service by sending an HTTP request. The two leading brands of Web server software are Apache, which is free Web server shareware that accounts for about 60% of the market, and Microsoft’s NT Server software, which accounts for about 20% of the market.
但什么是網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)器？網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)器軟件是一種使計(jì)算機(jī)能夠向網(wǎng)上客戶機(jī)傳遞HTML網(wǎng)頁(yè)的軟件，而客戶機(jī)通過(guò)發(fā)出HTTP請(qǐng)求申請(qǐng)這種服務(wù)。網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)器軟件的兩種主要品牌是Apache和微軟的NT服務(wù)器軟件,前者是一種免費(fèi)的網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)器共享軟件，約占有60%的市場(chǎng)；后者約占有20%的市場(chǎng)。
Aside from responding to requests for Web pages, all Web servers provide some additional basic capabilities such as the following:
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)—This protocol allows users to transfer files to and from the server. Some sites limit file uploads to the Web server, while others restrict downloads, depending on the user’s identity.
除了回應(yīng)網(wǎng)頁(yè)請(qǐng)求之外，所有的網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)器還提供一些附加的基本能力，例如下列各項(xiàng):
文件傳輸協(xié)議(FTP)——這個(gè)協(xié)議允許使用者從服務(wù)器來(lái)回移動(dòng)文件。根據(jù)使用者的身份不同，一些網(wǎng)站限制文件上傳到網(wǎng)絡(luò)服務(wù)器,而其他網(wǎng)站限制下載。
Security services—These consist mainly of authentication services that verify that the person trying to access the site is authorized to do so. For Web sites that process payment transactions, the Web server also supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the Internet protocol for transmitting and receiving information securely over the Internet. When private information such as names, phone numbers, addresses, and credit card data need to be provided to a Web site, the Web server uses SSL to ensure that the data passing back and forth from the browser to the server is not compromised.

Search engine—Just as search engine sites enable users to search the entire Web for particular documents, search engine modules within the basic Web server software package enable indexing of the site’s Web pages and content, and permit easy keyword searching of the site’s content. When conducting a search, a search engine makes use of an index, which is a list of all the documents on the server. The search term is compared to the index to identify likely matches.

Data capture—Web servers are also helpful at monitoring site traffic, capturing information on who has visited a site, how long the user stayed there, the date and time of each visit, and which specific pages on the server were accessed. This information is compiled and saved in a log file, which can then be analyzed by a user log file. By analyzing a log file, a site manager can find out the total number of visitors, average length of each visit, and the most popular destinations, or Web pages.
