Under Windows, Apache is normally downloaded as a precompiled executable. The core modules are compiled in, and others are loaded <module name>.so at runtime (if needed), so control of the executable’s size is less urgent. The DLLs supplied (they really are called .so and not .dll ) in the .../apache/modules subdirectory are as follows:
mod_auth_anon.so mod_auth_dbm.so mod_auth_digest.so mod_cern_meta.so mod_dav.so mod_dav_fs.so mod_expires.so mod_file_cache.so mod_headers.so mod_info.so mod_mime_magic.so mod_proxy.so mod_rewrite.so mod_speling.so mod_status.so mod_unique_id.so mod_usertrack.so mod_vhost_alias.so mod_proxy_connect.so mod_proxy_ftp.so mod_proxy_http.so mod_access.so mod_actions.so mod_alias.so mod_asis.so mod_auth.so mod_autoindex.so mod_cgi.so mod_dir.so mod_env.so mod_imap.so mod_include.so mod_isapi.so mod_log_config.so mod_mime.so mod_negotiation.so mod_setenvif.so mod_userdir.so
What these are and what they do will become more apparent as we proceed.
