Modules Under Windows

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.
