"HTTP server" is another term for Web server. A Web server is a software program that maps URL requests from a Web client (typically a browser) to a resource that will handle the request and return a response to the client. The Web client and the Web server use HTTP to communicate over a TCP network.
Apache is the most commonly used Web server in the world. It runs on most operating systems, including Unix-based operating systems (such as Linux, Solaris, Digital UNIX, and AIX) and Unix-derived systems (such as BSD, FreeBSD and BeOS) Mac OS and Windows.
According to the project's website, the goal of the initiative is to create "a robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and freely-available source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server."
