Dr.Web HTTPD is a web server for managing the operation of Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers. With Dr.Web HTTPD, it is possible not to use external web servers (for example, Apache HTTP Server or Nginx) and management services like Webmin. Moreover, the component can function simultaneously with such servers and services on the same host without impeding their operation.
The Dr.Web HTTPD server processes requests received via HTTP and HTTPS protocols to the sockets specified in the settings. For this reason, the server does not have any conflicts with web servers when they operate on the same host. The secure HTTPS protocol is used for managing Dr.Web for UNIX Mail Servers.
