Dr.Web HTTPD is a web server designed for managing Dr.Web Mail Security Suite without a need for either third-party servers (for example, Apache HTTP Server and Nginx) or management services, such as Webmin. Furthermore, the component can function simultaneously with them on the same host without impeding their operation.
The Dr.Web HTTPD server processes requests received via HTTP and HTTPS to sockets specified in the settings. For this reason, the server does not have conflicts with other web servers used on the same host. Dr.Web Mail Security Suite is managed via the secure protocol, HTTPS.

The Dr.Web management web interface is not required for the operation of Dr.Web Mail Security Suite and can be absent; therefore, the corresponding block is circled with a dashed line in the scheme. |
The Dr.Web HTTPD component issues commands to the Dr.Web ConfigD configuration management daemon, to the Dr.Web File Checker component designed for file scanning and to other components on the basis of commands received via the HTTP API.
The management web interface, which uses Dr.Web HTTPD, is described in the corresponding section.
If the Dr.Web management web interface is not included in Dr.Web Mail Security Suite, you can connect the product to any third-party management interface that uses the HTTP API (described in the Description of the HTTP API section) of the Dr.Web HTTPD component.
