string of the browser. Combined with XSSI, this allows you to
write browser-based conditional HTML documents.
! *) SetUID CGI Execution Apache now supports the execution of CGI
! scripts as users other than the server user. A number of security
! checks are built in to try and make this as safe as possible.
*) URL Rewriting Module
The optional mod_rewrite module is now included. This module can
provide powerful URL mapping, using regular expressions. There's
nothing this module can't do!
- *) Optional FastCGI Module Included
- FastCGI is a high-performance alternative to CGI. FastCGI gets its
- speed by having the Web server keep the application processes
- running between requests. So, unlike CGI, you do not have the
- overhead of starting up a new process and doing application
- initialization (e.g. connecting to a database) each time somebody
- requests a document. The processes start up with the Web server

simplified.
