The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) carries requests from a browser to a Web server and transports pages back from the Web server to the requesting browser.

Enetrics Communications uses Apache Web server software to run the Web service. Apache is the most popular and powerful HTTP (Web) server software available today. The documentation found in this Handbook, on Enetrics Communications's Web site, or at Apache’s Web site (http://www.apache.org) provides you with the necessary information to understand Apache.

The Web service also has the capability to support the optional secure Web service (also known as Secure Socket Layer or SSL). If you are conducting any kind of sensitive transactions (such as collecting credit card information) over the Web, then the secure Web service is necessary. Many additional Web service extensions, CGI scripts, Java applets, and popular third party applications are also available. See Enetrics Communications's Web site for more information.
