Well, yeah, sure, but the http server was the first, and is the most

as well known.  It's also the *only* ASF project to not actually have
a name, a al tomcat, jackrabbit, etc.

 When dealing with software which handles HTTP in any way, generally,
we call it Apache Web Server, specificall to differentiate Apache
Tomcat.

Well, this is clearly user error and said user ought to be beaten with
a clue-stick until they attain the level of pedantry required to
effectively communicate with those of our nature ;)

 Not really.  Apache can handle Tomcat and anything else within the
same instance.  I can run it separately, or together.

 Actually, I suppose in a way your right.  From a lower level
standpoint, the Apache httpd is using a module to communicate with the
Tomcat Application server, but it's a blurry line, because of the way
the Apache module works.
