-This is the W3 Consortium (W3C) httpd (WWW) server. It is the most
-versatile WWW server currently in the public domain, however it's not
-particularly easy to configure for the neophyte.
+W3C httpd is a generic public domain full-featured hypertext server
+which can be used as a regular HTTP server. The running typically on
+port 80 to serve hypertext and other documents, and also as a proxy --
+a server on a firewall machine -- that provides access for people
+inside a firewall to the outside world. When running as proxy httpd
+may be configured to do caching of documents resulting in faster
+response times.
+
+For more information on the Library, please look at the page

+ http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Daemon/Status.html
+
+Have fun!
